Ingredients

Scale

Coffee Base

  • 1 cup brewed coffee or 1 shot espresso, cooled

Liquid & Sweeteners

  • 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative (almond, oat, coconut, etc.)
  • 2 tbsp gingerbread syrup or molasses
  • Sweetener to taste (honey, maple syrup, or sugar – optional)

Spices

  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Other

  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • Whipped cream for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Brew Your Coffee Base. Start by brewing a cup of your favorite coffee or pulling a strong espresso shot. Let it cool slightly to prevent melting too much ice later, ensuring a thick frappe.
  2. Step 2: Combine Ingredients. In a blender, pour your cooled coffee or espresso, milk of choice, gingerbread syrup or molasses, ground ginger, cinnamon, and your preferred sweetener. Add a generous handful of ice cubes.
  3. Step 3: Blend Until Frothy. Blend everything on high speed until fully combined and frothy, with a smooth and creamy texture, ensuring no large ice chunks remain.
  4. Step 4: Taste and Adjust. Give your frappe a quick taste test, adjusting sweetness or spice levels if needed by adding more syrup or a dash more cinnamon or ginger.
  5. Step 5: Serve and Garnish. Pour the frappe into your favorite glass, then top with optional whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to create that beautiful, inviting finish.

Notes

  • Use freshly brewed and cooled coffee to get the best flavor without bitterness.
  • Use fresh, clean ice cubes for optimal frappe texture and temperature.
  • Adjust spices gradually to suit your palate and avoid overpowering the drink.
  • Blend long enough to achieve a creamy frappe consistency, but avoid over-blending which can warm the drink.
  • Experiment with whole milk, half-and-half, or non-dairy alternatives to find your favorite creaminess level.
