Easy-To-Make Winter Coffee Recipes

Warm up your morning with these easy-to-make coffee recipes!

There is no better time of the year for a delicious hot cup of coffee than winter. It’s the one thing worth climbing from underneath your warm covers for on a cold, frosty morning.

And if you are looking for some new, easy ideas to whip up in your kitchen, look no further! I have put together a list of winter coffee recipes just for you.

1. Eggnog Latte

Ingredients:

· 1 cup of coffee

· 2/3 cup of eggnog

· 1/4 cup of cream or half & half

· 1/8 tsp. of ground CIN

· A pinch of nutmeg

· Sugar (optional)

· Whipped cream

· Nutmeg

Tip: You can make this delicious drink with or without an espresso machine, add your touch of flavors, and adjust the beverage to your taste. You can also use maple syrup instead of sugar; simply pour it into the coffee with the eggnog mixture.

Step one: Pour eggnog and cream into a small saucepan and gently warm it over low to medium heat. Keep the eggnog mixture below a rolling boil and simmer. Add the nutmeg, cinnamon, and sugar if you want it sweeter. Whisk continuously for three minutes or until the mixture is thick. (This will form the nice frothy topping for your latte.)

Step two: Make a cup of coffee. The stronger the better to handle the sweetness of the eggnog.

Step three: Add the thickened eggnog to the coffee.

Step four: Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with a pinch of nutmeg. (If you would like, add alcohol to your eggnog latte. Some top favorites are bourbon, dark rum, Baileys, Kahlua, and brandy.)

2. Butterscotch Caramel Coffee

Ingredients:

· 1 large cup of coffee

· Ground cinnamon

· 1 ounce of butterscotch syrup

· 1 ounce of heavy cream

· 1 tbsp. of caramel sauce

· Whipped cream

Step one: Brew one large cup of coffee. (Strong is recommended.)

Step two: Combine the coffee, butterscotch syrup, heavy cream, and caramel and stir until the syrup and caramel are well mixed.

Step three: Top with whipped cream, drizzled caramel, and a pinch of cinnamon.

3. Peppermint Mocha

Ingredients:

· ¾ cup of milk

· 3 tbsp. of sugar

· 1 tbsp. of unsweetened cocoa powder

· ¾ cup of espresso (or strong coffee)

· ½ tsp. of mint extract or ½ peppermint candy

· ¼ tsp. vanilla extract

· Whipped cream

· Pinch of chocolate shavings

Step one: Add milk, unsweetened cocoa, and sugar to a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Stir occasionally.

Step two: Stir in coffee, mint extract, and vanilla, then remove from heat. If using a candy cane, be sure to melt it completely.

Step three: Pour into large mugs and top with whipped cream. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings and crushed peppermint.

4. Irish Coffee

Ingredients:

· 6 ounces of coffee

· 2 tsp. of sugar

· 2 tbsp. of Irish whiskey

· 2 tbsp. of heavy cream

Step one: Brew the coffee. Robust but not bitter is the recommended strength.

Step two: While the coffee is brewing, whisk the heavy cream vigorously until it starts to thicken. Stop before it becomes too thick to pour.

Step three: Add the whiskey to the coffee.

Step four: Pour the cream over the back of a spoon into the coffee. Pouring the cream this way keeps it on top of the coffee, giving you the classic Irish coffee look and taste. Add a garnish: Sprinkle the top with a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg. For a fancy touch, add chocolate orange shavings on top.
