Step 1
Pour 1 cup of strong brewed coffee into a mug — use hot water and instant coffee, or brew fresh coffee in a coffee maker if you have one.
Step 2
Pour 0.5 cup of milk into a separate microwave-safe mug and heat in the microwave on high for 60–90 seconds until the surface steams gently and is too hot to touch.
Step 3
Add 1 tablespoon of molasses, 0.25 teaspoon of ground ginger, 0.25 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 0.125 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the coffee mug.
Step 4
Stir the coffee and spices together with a spoon for 10 seconds until the molasses dissolves completely and the color is uniform.
Step 5
Pour the hot steamed milk into the coffee mixture slowly, stirring gently as you pour until the drink is smooth and well combined.
Step 6
Taste the drink; if it is not sweet enough, stir in a small pinch more molasses or a teaspoon of honey, then serve immediately in the mug.
