Heat the corn syrup, milk, whipping cream, brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves in a medium saucepan on medium heat. Bring to a simmer (do not boil).
Meanwhile, brew the 1/4 cup of strong coffee. Pour into a mug, and pour the ginger mixture on top. Top with whipped cream.
Notes
To make this drink vegan, switch the milk for a non-dairy milk and the whipping cream to a vegan version. I find that oat milk works best with this drink.
