  • 3 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 whole nutmeg

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To make the Winter Spice Syrup, combine all ingredients in a medium sauce pan.  Bring to a simmer, stirring until sugar is dissolved.  Remove from heat and allow to sit for 20 minutes to allow the flavors infuse.  Strain out solids and store in the refrigerator.
  2. To make the Winter Spice Latte, add 1 ounce of winter spice syrup to a mug. Brew 1 cup of nespresso into mug (I like the Stormio for this drink).
  3. Top with steamed milk (I used the Nespresso Aeroccino to make perfect foamed milk). Garnish with grated nutmeg if desired.
