Equipment

Ingredients

  • 7 cups whole milk
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • 3 Tbsp. brown sugar

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to the slow cooker and whisk until the molasses is fully incorporated and the sugar has dissolved.
  • Cook on LOW for 3 hours, stirring once halfway through cooking. (do not cook on HIGH, we don't want the latte to boil as it can burn the sugars)
  • Turn the slow cooker to WARM and serve with frothed milk or whipped cream and caramel sauce. Garnish with a gingerbread cookie. Enjoy!

Notes

  • To make the gingerbread rim on the glass, dip the top of the glass into honey or maple syrup and press into crushed gingerbread cookies.
  • Store in the refrigerator in an airtight glass container such as a mason jars for up to 5 days.
  • Stir before reheating, reheat on the stove top on medium low heat or in the microwave.
  • 2 Tbsp of Allspice can be used in place of the spices and cinnamon sticks.
  • The whole milk can be replaced with any non-dairy milk of your choice or even half and half.
  • The molasses can be replaced with honey or maple syrup.
