Gingerbread Coffee (Press Pot)

Description: I make this in a French Press, but could be made with drip coffee. For hot milk, I use a glass milk-frother. Heat milk in microwave and use plunger to froth lightly. Strain milk into coffee, remove lid, and put some foam on top of coffee.

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons coffee beans, coarse ground
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon molasses
• boiling water
• milk, hot

Steps:

1. Put all ingredients, except water and milk, into a 12 oz. press pot. Add boiling water. Stir with chopstick or handle of wooden spoon.
2. Put lid on pot and brew 4 minutes.
3. Press plunger and pour coffee into large cup.
4. Add hot milk to taste.
5. To make with drip coffee: Brew coffee and stir in spices and molasses. Strain into cup.
