Ingredients
For the gingerbread syrup
- 1 ¼ cups water
- ¾ cup brown sugar 150 grams
- ¾ cup caster sugar 150g
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 5 cloves
For the gingerbread latte
- 1 ½ cup milk 350ml, almond milk used
- 2 teaspoons gingerbread syrup recipe below
- 2 teaspoons Barleycup dissolved in (⅓ cup/80ml) boiled water
Garnish (optional)
- ground nutmeg
- Whipped Cream or dairy-free whipped cream
- Mini gingerbread men
- Sprinkles gold
Instructions
For the gingerbread syrup
- Add all the gingerbread syrup ingredients to a pan. Heat for 5 minutes, stirring, or until the sugar dissolves.
- Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer (without stirring) for 15 minutes or until the mixture is thick and a syrup consistency.
- Remove from the heat and leave to cool completely, then remove the cloves.
For the gingerbread latte
- Heat the milk and then froth with a frother or in a blender.
- Dissolve the Barleycup into the hot water to make espresso, then divide between two mugs and stir in 2 teaspoons of gingerbread syrup (or more to taste) into each mug. Top up with the frothed milk.
- To garnish, add whipped cream, a dusting of Barleycup or nutmeg, sprinkles and gingerbread cookies.
- NOTE: you'll have lots of leftover gingerbread syrup, so keep it in the fridge for more lattes!
Notes
- You’ll have lots of leftover gingerbread syrup, so store it in a sterilized jar or bottle for up to 1 month.
- Once the syrup is open, store it in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
- Be sure that the sugars are completely dissolved before moving onto the next step.
- You can use any milk for your gingerbread latte - I usually use soy or almond to make it vegan.
- Tweak the latte to your liking - if you like it sweet, add a little more syrup.
- Using different vegan milk types will change the flavour slightly, so experiment!
- Try it with chocolate soy milk for a cocoa twist.
- Mix ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract for a more vanilla flavor or try almond extract.
- Add a splash of Tia Maria for a grown-up alcohol twist.
- It’s best to make the Barleycup Gingerbread Latte just before serving. The syrup can be stored in a sterilised bottle for up to 1 month, and once opened in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
