Here are just three of our favourite holiday Coffee recipes;

Gingerbread Latte

Mi Casa’s Salted Caramel Flavoured Coffee carries caramelised notes and biscuity aroma. You can taste hints of vanilla custard, caramel and almonds. It’s as though you are eating gingerbread cake on Christmas morning!

This Gingerbread Latte comprises a shot of Mi Casa’s Flavoured coffee and delicious spices every kitchen cupboard will have.

Here’s what you will need:

40ml shot of espresso
½ cup steamed milk
1 tbs molasses or maple syrup or honey (your preference)
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp freshly ground ginger
A pinch of nutmeg

In your cup of choice, pour and mix a 40ml shot of espresso with molasses, vanilla extract, and ground ginger. Pour in steamed milk.

Now, for the grand finale — sprinkle some nutmeg on top of the heated/frothy milk. The toasty, nutty nuances make the drink so delicious.

Peppermint Mocha

Chocolate and peppermint is a classic combination – and for good reason! You can’t go wrong with this holiday classic.

Our Amarula Cream Flavoured Coffee and English Toffee Flavoured Coffee make this mocha treat sensational. Be daring and try blend of both. This is what the Mi Casa elves are drinking at our office already!

Ingredients:

120ml milk
225ml coffee you can either (French press) OR use 3 x 40ml espresso shot + 100ml hot water
30g bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 tsp peppermint extract
Whipped cream OR nice chunky spoon of double cream (there’s no dieting on Christmas! Its against holiday rules.)

Method:

In a saucepan add in all of your ingredients except the peppermint.
Stir and bring the ingredients to a simmer. Simmer for 2 minutes.
Take the saucepan off the heat, add the peppermint, pour into your mug.
Decorate with freshly whipped cream and sprinkles.

Orange Spiced Coffee

Need an after-dinner coffee with some to match the festive mood? Try this blend with nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and orange zest. Perfect, too, for Christmas morning.
