Ingredients
FOR THE HOMEMADE GINGERBREAD SYRUP
- ¼ cup molasses
- ¼ cup brown sugar

- 2 Shots Espresso (or ¼ cup very strong brewed coffee)
- 1 cup milk, heated and frothed
- Optional, for serving: whipped cream, dusting of cinnamon or nutmeg, holiday sprinkles
Instructions
MAKE THE GINGERBREAD SYRUP
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the molasses, brown sugar, water, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once it boils, remove the pan from the heat. Whisk in the vanilla extract.
- Store the gingerbread syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use to redistribute the spices.
Cup of Yum
MAKE A GINGERBREAD LATTE
- In a large mug, combine 2 tablespoons of gingerbread syrup and 2 shots of espresso or ¼ cup strong coffee. Whisk or stir well to make sure that the syrup is incorporated with the espresso.
- Pour the warm frothed milk over the espresso mixture. Top with whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon, if desired.
Notes
- If you don't have a milk frother, simply combine the gingerbread syrup, espresso, and milk in a small saucepan on the stovetop. Whisk until warm and combined. It won't have the foamy top, but it will still taste delicious!
- For a quick and easy homemade gingerbread latte, prepare the gingerbread syrup in advance and store it in an airtight jar or container in the fridge for up to one week. Once the syrup is made, assembling the latte is almost as fast as stirring together a regular cup of coffee!
