Stir the coffee and spices together with a spoon for 10 seconds until the molasses dissolves completely and the color is uniform.

Pour the hot steamed milk into the coffee mixture slowly, stirring gently as you pour until the drink is smooth and well combined.

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.
