Instructions
-
Brew the coffee
Make a fresh cup using your preferred method—espresso, French press, or drip coffee all work well. -
Add the ginger
While the coffee is still hot, stir in the grated or ground ginger so the flavor infuses properly. -
Stir in the cinnamon
Sprinkle in ground cinnamon for a gentle sweetness and a warm aroma that pairs beautifully with ginger. -
Sweeten (optional)
Add honey or another sweetener to soften the bitter coffee notes and balance the spice. -
Make it creamy (optional)

Mix and serve
Stir thoroughly and enjoy hot. Prefer iced coffee? Let it cool, then pour over ice cubes.
Why This Combination Works
