Gingerbread lattes are pretty popular around the holidays, so today I am going to show you how to make a gingerbread latte at home. While the recipe is a bit more complicated than I usually like to make, it’s definitely worth the extra effort. Enjoy!
HOMEMADE GINGERBREAD LATTE
Ingredients:
for the syrup:
1 cup water
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
for the latte:
1 double espresso shot (2 oz)
6 oz steamed milk
2 tablespoon gingerbread syrup
sugar to taste
if you don’t have an espresso machine replace with:
1/2 cup strong black coffee
1/2 cup hot milk
2 tablespoons gingerbread syrup
sugar to taste
Directions:
Make a syrup: In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar, ginger, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and allow for the syrup to simmer (10 -15 min). Remove from heat and let cool. If you reach a syrup consistency earlier, remove from heat, 15 minutes is a guideline.
Latte: Put gingerbread syrup in a cup, add coffee, sugar, and stir. Froth the milk, add to coffee-syrup mixture and stir again. This needs nothing more than whipped cream and a pinch of ground ginger (or nutmeg) for garnish.
Happy holidays!

I’m so glad I stumbled on this. I have been on a cooking spree (Too many guests on the next weekend) and is so tired right now. I made myself some cinnamon infused coffee – but this sounds so good! I myt make this tomorrow :)
