In a saucepan, add a cup of water and bring it to boil.
Add in fresh ginger slices, ¼ teaspoon ginger powder, two pods of cardamom, ½ teaspoon of nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon, clove and allspice powders. Give the mixture a good stir.
Add coffee powder (preferably instant) at this point.
Now add in 1 and ½ cup of almond or light coconut milk.
Add sweetener of choice at this point. I add half a teaspoon of Swerve.
Allow to concoction to simmer while you prepare the toppings.
