Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of milk, 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger, 1 tablespoon of orange zest, and 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed orange juice. Heat the mixture over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it becomes steaming but not boiling.
  2. Once your milk mixture is steaming and fragrant, remove the saucepan from heat. Carefully strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a large mug to eliminate the solids.
  3. Pour ½ cup of strong brewed coffee or espresso into your infused milk mixture. Stir gently to mix everything together.
  4. Sweeten your latte to taste by adding 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, then sprinkle in ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon and ¼ teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Stir well to combine.
  5. If you're feeling indulgent, top your latte with a generous swirl of whipped cream and sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon and some extra orange zest on top for a pop of color and aroma. Serve hot and enjoy!
