Gingerbread Coffee

I love coffee. The smell and the richness is intoxicating. And yes, I am one of those people addicted to Starbucks. When I left my job in order to have my daughter, my husband and I decided that we would make our Starbucks coffee at home using our espresso maker. Our favorite espresso bar drink is the Americano, which is simply espresso and water. For all of you iced coffee fans out there if you have never tried an Americano I encourage you to do so. It has a much smoother taste than iced coffee. This holiday season I found a great way to put jolly in my coffee. In my iced Americano I put a dash of cinnamon, a sprinkle of nutmeg and a dash of ginger. It was like sipping a gingerbread coffee, but without the sin.
