Starbucks Gingerbread Latte Recipe

Gingerbread Latte Recipe

Ingredients:

 

• 1/2 cup espresso or strong coffee
• 8 ounces of steamed milk
• 1/4 cup gingerbread syrup

Directions:

 

• Make gingerbread syrup by putting 1 1/2 cups sugar, 2 cups water, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla in a small saucepan.  Bring to boil on the stove and reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes.  This will make enough to keep on hand, so once it’s cool store in an airtight container in the fridge.
• Make your coffee or espresso and steam a cup of milk.
• Put your coffee/espresso into your favorite cup, add 1/4 cup of gingerbread syrup, and lastly add the milk.  Stir.
• Garnish with whipped cream and nutmeg or cinnamon.
