Hot Milk with Gingerbread Spices and Molasses
Hot Milk With Gingerbread Spices…Like three drinks in one.
- This warming drink is like a holiday hug, something you can enjoy in the evening when you’re wrapping gifts into the wee hours.
- Hot spice milk is a great stand-in for eggnog too for those of us who find old fashioned, or store-bought, eggnog far too rich.
- And finally, I like to drink in in place of hot chocolate after a walk in the cold. It’s just sweet enough and isn’t as filling as chocolate.
Sometimes, we add a little coconut milk for extra sweetness. You could also froth the milk if you like your milk foamy on top.

Can I use blackstrap molasses instead of fancy molasses?
Peter Davis
Hey Hel!
You can! It’ll change the taste to a more bitter, bolder taste than a sweeter cookie that you’d have with the Fancy but both would be enjoyable!

Thank-you so much for this recipe!! I have been searching for a replacement for hot chocolate and this recipe is perfect! It is so warming and delicious, and it will be my daily treat throughout the chilly months! You have made my fall, winter and spring! All the best to you all at Crosby’s!

Merry Christmas to the Crosby’s Family of employees and of course, thank you Bridget for sharing these delicious recipes! The Crosby’s product is a cherished part of my childhood memories that I continue to share with my own children. It’s my “teaspoon a day!”
Blessings and Good Will to all, this and every holiday season!

Thank you for this delicious drink. I had it with a gingerbread muffin from your website. I don’t drink tea or coffee, so this is a treat!
