Spiced Christmas Gingerbread Coffee With Cognac Chantilly Cream,As soon as I discovered how to make ginger syrup, this gingerbread coffee was on the menu last Christmas! I tasted my first Gingerbread coffee, or actually, Gingerbread Latte, in a branch of Starbucks in Manchester, England in 2006 – and it was love at first taste! Mine is a little bit more grown up and indulgent, as I have included a spiced, cognac laced whipped chantilly cream topping! We will be having this for Christmas morning this year, and for many more mornings or evenings I suspect, as the mood takes us! Enjoy this coffee not just at Christmas time, but also throughout the colder months. This recipe is not for latte, but for a fresh filtered coffee and cream version – but I think it is just as delicious.,Wonderful, just wonderful. This rich, creamy, spicy coffee is over the top. The gingerbread syrup is wonderful and the addition of cognac and cinnamon to the whipped cream is devine. I enjoyed it so much. The flavor is outstanding. It was quick and easy to make and presents very well. I can’t wait to try this decadent treat again. Thanks so much for sharing.
