Vegan Slow Cooker Gingerbread Latte

This holiday coffee has the spiciness of gingerbread with just a hint of molasses. It’s a perfect way to warm up while you are cozy on the couch or after a walk in the snow.

I still make this with cold brewed coffee and you can get the super simple how to make it here. Cold brewed coffee is less acidic and much easier on your stomach. Plus, once you make the concentrate it can stay in the fridge all week. It’s perfect for a quick iced coffee and easy to heat up for a hot coffee too.

I make my cold brewed coffee concentrate  in a French Press. You can buy more expensive options if you want to, but they aren’t necessary. In fact, if you don’t have a French Press you can use a Mason jar and a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag.

If you are a hot coffee brewer, then go ahead and use double the amount of regular brewed coffee. Cold brew is usually double strength.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup  63ml cold brewed coffee concentrate or 1 cup (250ml) regular brewed coffee
  • 2 cup 500ml unsweetened nondairy milk (you can use vanilla or plain just adjust sweetener)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon  ground allspice
  • pinch ground cloves
  • pinch nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon molasses optional, but makes it really taste like gingerbread
  • Sweetener to taste: brown sugar stevia, agave nectar, or maple syrup, etc.
  • I used 1/2 packet Nu-Stevia

Instructions

  1. Put everything but sweetener in the slow cooker.
  2. Add molasses. Whisk until ingredients are well combined.
  3. Taste and add your choice of sweetener until it's the way you like your latte.
  4. Cook for 3 hours on low or 1 1⁄2 to 2 hours on high. You are just heating it, so you could also do this on the stove top if you are in a hurry.

Recipe Notes

I like to put drinks on in a slow cooker before a dinner party and then it's piping hot and ready to serve with dessert.

  1. I will be drinking my coffee 3 hours later than usual just so I can make this incredible sounding drink. As you know, I no longer drink coffeeshop lattes, but I miss the days of a warm cup of fru-fru coffee drinks. Thanks for bringing back the small joy those drinks add to my life. Not only are you, Kathy Hester, recipe creator extraordinaire, but you are also Kathy Hester, renewer of joy.

  2. I’m a sucker for 1) So Delicious products, and 2) Gingerbread lattes. This is a great, simple recipe! PS: I think you might have me convinced to cold brew coffee.

  18. I’ve never had a gingerbread latte, but I think that’s about to change. This sounds like a lovely recipe, I think I’ll give it a shot tomorrow morning (sans creamer though – I’ve never seen it in store).

    I love coffee with just a tad bit of creamer and sweetener. So Delicious creamer would be great in an Italian Soda, too 🙂
