SPICED CHRISTMAS GINGERBREAD COFFEE WITH COGNAC CHANTILLY CREAM
As soon as I discovered how to make ginger syrup, this gingerbread coffee was on the menu last Christmas! I tasted my first Gingerbread coffee, or actually, Gingerbread Latte, in a branch of Starbucks in Manchester, England in 2006 - and it was love at first taste! Mine is a little bit more grown up and indulgent, as I have included a spiced, cognac laced whipped chantilly cream topping! We will be having this for Christmas morning this year, and for many more mornings or evenings I suspect, as the mood takes us! Enjoy this coffee not just at Christmas time, but also throughout the colder months. This recipe is not for latte, but for a fresh filtered coffee and cream version - but I think it is just as delicious.

Steps:
- Gingerbread Syrup.
- Make the gingerbread syrup by combining water, sugar, ginger, cinnamon and vanilla in a medium saucepan. Be sure the pan is not too small or the mixture could easily bubble over.
- Bring mixture to a boil then reduce heat and simmer the syrup, uncovered, for about 15 minutes. Remove the syrup from the heat when it's done - thickened, glossy and clear - and then cover it. This can now be stored in a bottle or jar in the fridge for about a month.
- Gingerbread Coffee.
- Make the fresh coffee in your coffee filter machine to personal taste - I have suggested 1/2 scoop of medium blend coffee per person for a tall mug of coffee.
- Just before serving the gingerbread coffees, whip the cream with a hand held mixer until it just holds its shape - then add the cognac, cinnamon and icing sugar and whip until it is firm. If you have a cream siphon - decant the cream into the siphon for piping later.
- When you are ready to serve the gingerbread coffees, pour some fresh coffee into each tall mug until about two thirds full; add a tablespoon of ginger syrup and stir the coffee - taste it and adjust the flavour by adding more syrup if needed. Then carefully spoon or pipe the cream on to the top of the coffee. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon and serve with a cinnamon stick as a stirrer!
- If you have any cream left over - make another gingerbread coffee!

Steps:
- Preheat over to 350 degrees F(175 degrees C). Grease one 9 inch pie pan.
- Combine flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, clove. Mix well. Stir in cranberries and the almonds and toss to coat. Or add almonds and put berries in bottom of pie pan. Stir in butter, eggs and extracts. Spread into pie pan.
- For topping: mix sugar, flour, cinnamon, almonds. Press in soft butter until you get a crumble mixture. Put on top of batter.
- Bake for 40 minutes or until a wooden tooth pick inserted near center to come out clean. Serve warm or cold. Heats up nicely in microwave for a few seconds.
- P.S. Frozen berries last one year. Make sure to pick through your frozen berries before using. The more wrinkles on a frozen berry the older it is. The batter will be a little thicker if you use frozen cranberries. It is easier to see the bad berries if you unfreeze them in warm water.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Coffee: Select a high-quality coffee with a rich flavor profile. Medium or dark roasts are ideal for Christmas coffee.
- Freshly Grind Your Coffee: Grinding your coffee beans just before brewing ensures the maximum release of flavor and aroma.
- Use the Right Water: Fresh, filtered water is essential for making great coffee. Avoid using tap water, as it may contain impurities that can affect the taste.
- Brew at the Correct Temperature: The optimal brewing temperature for coffee is between 195°F and 205°F (90°C and 96°C). Using water that is too hot can extract bitter flavors from the coffee.
- Use the Right Coffee-to-Water Ratio: The ideal ratio varies depending on your personal preference and the brewing method. A good starting point is 1:17 (1 gram of coffee for every 17 grams of water).
- Experiment with Different Spices: Add a festive touch to your Christmas coffee by experimenting with spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and cardamom. Start with a small amount and adjust to your taste.
- Sweeten to Your Liking: If you prefer sweet coffee, add sugar, honey, or a flavored syrup to taste. You can also use whipped cream or steamed milk to create a creamy, indulgent beverage.
