Description
Vegan Gingerbread Steamers are one of my favorite warm fall and winter drinks! It's a perfect treat to enjoy with holiday baking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 C unsweetened almond milk
- 1/3 C pure maple syrup
- 2 vanilla beans, split
- 4 cinnamon sticks
- 1/4-in. ginger root, peeled
- 8 whole cloves
- 4 whole allspice
- 2 whole nutmeg
- Garnish with homemade coconut whipped cream, a dusting of ground cinnamon and/or cinnamon sticks if desired
Instructions
- Add 4 cups almond milk, 1/3 cup maple syrup, 2 vanilla beans, 4 cinnamon sticks, 1/4-inch of peeled ginger root, 8 whole cloves, 4 whole allspice, and 2 whole nutmeg to slow cooker and cook on high for 2-3 hours. You can also use the slow cooker function on an Instant Pot.
- Remove whole ingredients and discard. For best results, pour the entire mixture over a fine mesh strainer positioned over a large mixing bowl with a pour spout. You can also use a slotted ladle to remove the whole ingredients.
- Stir well and put the slow cooker on the “warm/keep hot” setting to heat the steamers for serving. Taste just before serving and add more maple syrup 1 tablespoon at a time if a sweeter taste is desired. You can also add a tiny pinch of salt to bring out the flavors if desired. Ladle the hot gingerbread steamer into mugs and garnish each mug with homemade coconut whipped cream, a dusting of ground cinnamon and/or cinnamon sticks if desired. Enjoy while steamy hot!
