There are few things in life that are better than dumping a bunch of ingredients into a pot, turning it on, and coming back hours later for a delicious meal. While meals are the slow cooker’s specialty, there are other things you can make in your crockpot, like drinks. The winter season is perfect for hot drinks, like this crockpot gingerbread latte with caramel.
Wake up in the morning to something better than your average cup of coffee, or curl up with a book and a glass of crockpot gingerbread latte with caramel.
