Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 3⁄4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Apple Pie Spice
- 1⁄2 cup milk, your choice
- 1 tbsp prepared syrup
- 1 cup freshly brewed coffee or 2 shots espresso
Preparation
- In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in sugar and spice until dissolved. Reduce heat to medium; simmer 7–10 min, until syrup coats the back of a spoon. You should have about 2⁄3 cup syrup; it will continue to thicken as it cools.
- In another saucepan, bring milk and 1 tbsp syrup to a boil over high heat. When bubbling, remove from heat and use Air Wand or whisk to froth milk.
- Divide hot coffee between mugs or thick-walled glasses; top with frothed milk and extra spice, if desired.
