I’m a fan of gingerbread. I’m a fan hot cocoa. Both, I consume throughout the year. Neither are seasonal. This winter, however, I set out to make my own Gingerbread Spice. A mix that doesn’t include nutmeg. I tested my Gingerbread Spice, on hot cocoa and hot chocolate. Ultimately, the cocoa was more compatible to the spices. I’m confident you will love the Gingerbread Spice and the Gingerbread Hot Cocoa.
