Ingredients

  • 1 - 2 teaspoons tangerine sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions

  • Prepare a tangerine sugar: Mix 1 cup granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon of finely grated tangerine zest.
  • Mix 1 to 2 teaspoons of the tangerine sugar (I use 1 1/2 teaspoons) with the cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Place in the bottom of your coffee mug, pull a shot or two of espresso (ristretto espresso if you have the capability) over the spice mixture and swirl a couple of times, steam the milk with a microfoam and pour over the espresso without stirring directly in the center.

Notes

— You can substitute any citrus for tangerine.
— You can use a milk of your choice, such as almond milk, oat milk, skim milk, or coconut milk. Just be aware that these all steam differently and you won't necessarily get a microfoam.
— You can also use a sugar substitute like granulated monk fruit. I have only tested this with Lakanto Golden monk fruit.
— I make mine with 2 shots of espresso now, about 5-6 ounces of milk, 1 1/2 teaspoons of tangerine sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.
Storing - The tangerine sugar will last about a month stored in an airtight container at room temperature. It will eventually become hard and I usually just make more.
