Description
The Gingerbread Latte is a festive holiday drink that combines creamy steamed milk, bold espresso, and the sweet, spicy flavors of gingerbread syrup. Topped with whipped cream and warming spices, it’s a cozy treat perfect for holiday mornings or snowy afternoons.
Ingredients
1 cup whole milk (or any milk of choice)
2 tablespoons gingerbread syrup (homemade or store-bought)
2 oz espresso (or 8 oz strong brewed coffee)
Whipped cream (optional)
Pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together the milk and gingerbread syrup. Heat until the mixture is steaming and just beginning to foam.
- Remove from heat and froth the milk using a handheld milk frother or a whisk until it becomes light and airy.
- Brew your espresso or strong coffee directly into a mug.
- Pour the gingerbread-infused milk over the brewed coffee.
- Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon if desired.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, use non-dairy milk such as almond, oat, or coconut milk.
Make the drink sweeter by adding extra gingerbread syrup or a dash of vanilla extract.
For a vegan version, swap the whipped cream with coconut whipped cream.
Use a milk steamer for a more professional latte experience.
Store leftover gingerbread syrup in the fridge for up to 2 weeks for easy use.
