Hello friends its Allison I hope you're
having a super happy and cozy
day so far
I love this time of year so much and I
love coffee as well so I'm really really
excited for this video because I will be
sharing three different cozy Christmas
inspired coffee recipes with you all we
have a gingerbread latte we have a hot
cocoa Frappuccino so really it's just a
cocoa Frappuccino because it's
definitely not hot it's on ice and then
finally we have a peppermint mocha super
classic super delicious and I really
hope you enjoyed these recipes also I
really want to thank for eight for
sponsoring today's video I am so in love
with their pieces they are actually a
fine jewelry brand that's made in New
York City founded by women for women and
they have so many stunning pieces and
they range from classic jewelry pieces
to more statement pieces like the ones
I'm currently wearing these beautiful
statement earrings I'll show you a
closer look I got them in rose gold but
they have a few different colors that
you can choose from but all of our
weights pieces are real gold so you can
wear them all the time and never have to
take them off which I absolutely love
especially for rings and I wouldn't
necessarily wear these all the time
because they are a statement piece but
lots of their more everyday pieces you
can literally wear 24/7 so I'll show you
another pair of earrings I got that are
much more subtle and simple and I wear
those when I
shower even when I work out and go on
runs because I just love jewelry and a
little bit of flair so being able to
wear the pieces even when I sweat and
shower it's seriously so nice and best
of all or rate is epically made in New
York City and they empower women with
the best jewelry options without
sacrificing style which I love because
even though our rate uses real gold

they make it as affordable as possible

definitely appreciate that and if you're

pieces so super excited to be working
with them and now let's get into the
copy recipes
so first step we have our cozy
gingerbread latte this one is just so
adorable with the little gingerbread man
hanging out at the top but for this
recipe you'll need 1 cup of coffee 1/4 a
cup of milk 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
a dash of ground ginger nutmeg and
cinnamon and I used a little extra
cinnamon because I love the flavor and
then whipped cream to top it off but of
course that's optional if you like what
cream or not so the first thing you're
gonna do is mix together your brown
sugar and spices these spices like
ginger and nutmeg really do go a long
way so you really don't have to use a
whole bunch of it
but again I do love a lot of cinnamon so
I was pretty heavy-handed with that one
next up it's time to brew your cup of
coffee so you can use whatever tools you
used to make your coffee for this one I
decided to use my French press
once your coffee is brewed you can just
pour it into your mug and then you're
going to add in a spoonful a couple
spoonfuls of your spice and sugar
mixture but I left some in my little
bowl so I could use it for my frothed
milk as well and to sprinkle some on top
so then I added some milk to my frother
today I decided to use coconut milk
because that's my favorite type of milk
but you can use whatever suits your
fancy
and I just used my capresso frother to
kind of make it a little thicker and
warmer and then I added in my spices and
sugar mixture then I just poured that
into my mug mine wasn't super frothy but
it was definitely tasty so I'm happy
about that and then I just talked to the
latte with some whip cream a little
gingerbread peep and some of my brown
sugar and spice mixture
next up we have our cocoa frappe so it's
like a hot cocoa Frappuccino and this
one is cool so it's perfect for my
fellow Floridians who want to have a
cozy Christmas drink but needs something
a little cooler so for this recipe
you'll need a shot of espresso half a
cup of milk one cup of crushed ice one
tablespoon of hot coco marshmallows and
whipped cream so basically you pretty
much just add everything into your
blender because we're gonna blend it all
together so I just put in my milk my
shot of espresso that I made on my mocha
pot
my cup of ice which my father did turn
out quite icy so you may want to add
like a scoop of ice cream if you have it
which would be super yummy not the
healthiest but just to make it a little
less ice tea and then I added a little
over a tablespoon of hot cocoa because I
wanted it to be nice and sweet and then
I just blend it all together
then I just added it into this cute
little heart glass and as you can tell
it is pretty icy but again if you want
to make it a little creamier you can add
a little scoop of you know plain yogurt
or vanilla ice cream or chocolate ice
cream or coffee ice cream and then it'll
really help smooth it up a bit okay our
final recipe is the classic peppermint
mocha chocolate and peppermint are such
a yummy combo to me so I love this drink
and the ingredients you'll need for this
one are one cup of coffee 1/4 a cup of
milk or creamer mint extract which you
can find in the baking section of your
grocery store chocolate chips crushed
candy cane or peppermint and then
whipped cream which again is optional so
first we're gonna make our little mint
extract syrup to give us that peppermint
tea kick so I'm gonna take 1/4 a cup of
water a teaspoon of sugar and then a
couple drops of mint extract and then
I'm going to mix that all together and
then I poured my milk into my mug and I
added a few dark chocolate chips to
really make this decadent and chocolatey
and then I added half a tablespoon of
cocoa and added that into my mug as well
and then I added a little bit of my mint
extract mixture you can add as much as
you'd like it really just depends on
your preference and how much you enjoy
and then I just brewed my one cup of
coffee so I used my pour over this time
I like to switch it up and try different
ways of making my coffee clearly
and then I poured my coffee over my milk
and cocoa mixture and then I gave a
little stir
and of course I topped it with some
whipped cream and extra chocolate chips
and some crushed peppermint
and that's it I really hope you enjoyed
these cozy Christmas coffee recipes and
you have a beautiful holiday season and
I'll see you soon
