Ingredients

Gingerbread Syrup

  • ¼ cup lightly packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup water
  • 3 tablespoons molasses
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Copycat Starbucks Gingerbread Latte

  • 3 tablespoons Gingerbread Syrup
  • 2 shots espresso
  • ¾ cup 2% milk
  • fresh grated nutmeg
  • whipped cream optional

Instructions

Gingerbread Syrup

  • In a medium size saucepan, combine the ingredients.  Heat over medium heat, stirring until combined.
  • Bring to a slow boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes - stirring occasionally.
  • Transfer to a heat proof storage container.  Shake well before each use to redistribute the spices.

Copycat Starbucks Gingerbread Latte

  • In a large coffee cup, add two shots of espresso.  Stir in 3 tablespoons of Gingerbread Syrup and top with frothed milk.
  • Scoop the foam of the frothed milk onto the top of the latte.  Freshly grate nutmeg over the foam.
  • Optional: add whipped cream to the top of the milk foam before freshly grating the nutmeg.

Notes

  • If you don't have an espresso maker, espresso can be brewed in a french press.
  • To froth the milk without a milk frother, simmer on the stove top over low heat in a sauté pan whisking constantly until a foam forms.
