Easy Gingerbread Latte
by: claire cary
This copycat Starbucks gingerbread latte is creamy and perfect to sip on throughout the holiday season. It's perfectly spiced, easy to make and easy to prep for the week!
Ingredients
Gingerbread syrup
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons molasses
- ¾ cup water
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Latte
- 2 cups milk of choice
- ⅓ cup gingerbread syrup
- 4 shots espresso
- Whipped cream to top
Instructions
- In a small pot, add all of the ingredients for the gingerbread syrup.
- Whisk together over medium/low heat until the sugars dissolve. Let simmer for about 5 minutes to it can thicken a bit, then remove from heat.
- Meanwhile, warm and froth your milk. I have a smeg milk frother which I love, but a handheld frother is great too!
- Get two mugs, add 3 tablespoons of the gingerbread syrup to each mug, then add two shots of espresso to each mug, then one cup of milk to each, then top with whipped cream and cinnamon sugar if desired. Enjoy!
- I like to store the remaining gingerbread syrup in the fridge, then it's ready to go for other lattes throughout the week!
Notes
You can use any milk you want here - soy, almond, oat, coconut or regular cow's milk.
