Oh. My. Gosh.
I have "invented" Christmas in a cup!
Well, I say invented, more put together some amazing ingredients, and it's probably been done before, and I admit it doesn't look very Christmassy, but it tastes.... oh, it tastes....
Basically, it is a gingerbread float, and as I am off the alcohol for the festive season I am trying to come up with interesting drinks that only I can have and everybody gets jealous of.
Oh Lord, it looks so scrummy, I can still taste it!
Right- here's how to make it....
make up a cafetiere of coffee
Whip some double cream until doubled in size and light & fluffy (do not overwhip)
Pour an inch of Gingerbread syrup (I bought mine from Starbucks) into the bottom of a sundae glass
Pour on the coffee, leaving an inch at the top & stir
dollop lashings of cream over
sit back with Nigella Express on the telly (Or somesuch)
Go cross-eyed as the velvety sweetness slips down your throat and you are immediately transported to Christmas Heaven.
repeat.
Woof.
