Tips for making a gingerbread latte.

Really, you can make a version of gingerbread latte by using a gingerbread syrup.
You can find a selection of gingerbread syrups here.

More tips for you

  1. This beverage really tastes best when you use whole milk. However, almond milk, oat milk, or even coconut milk could work with this recipe.
  2. After bringing the ingredients to a boil, you will turn off the heat and allow the ingredients to simmer. The goal is to get a syrup-like consistency.
  3. You can store this 'syrup' in a glass container for about a week and a half in the refrigerator.

Personalize your gingerbread latte.

This is a fun and festive beverage that tastes great just the way it is.
However, you can make it even more fun.

Try one of these ideas.

  • Serve the syrup over a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  • While I am using espresso, you can also use any freshly brewed coffee.
  • Place the syrup in jars to give away as holiday gifts!

How to make Copycat Starbucks Gingerbread Latte.

Step One: make the gingerbread syrup.

In a medium saucepan on medium to high heat, combine together the water, sugar, ground ginger, and ground cinnamon. Bring this to a boil stirring constantly. Once the ingredients begin to boil, turn the heat off. Stir in the vanilla and then allow this to simmer for 18 minutes or until it turns to syrup, stirring occasionally.

Once the syrup has cooled you can strain it (cheesecloth works well) and store it in a mason jar or similar jar in your refrigerator until you are ready to use it.

Step Two: Make a Hot Latte.
To make a hot latte, in a mug, add freshly brewed espresso and steamed milk. The stir in syrup, as needed, for taste.

Step Three: Make a Cold Latte.
In a cup, combine chilled espresso and milk over ice. Top with the chilled gingerbread syrup to taste and whipped cream with a dusting of nutmeg.

Step Four: Make this a Sugar Free Latte.

Substitute the sugar using ¾ cup of allulose and ¾ cup of Swerve Brown. Feel free to use another alternative that is able to be made into a syrup as many cannot. For the milk, simply use unsweetened almond milk.
