A Gingerbread Latte is the perfect cozy drink, blending warm spices with smooth espresso and creamy milk. It’s a holiday favorite that feels like a hug in a mug!
Brew two shots of espresso or make ½ cup of strong coffee and set aside.
Heat your milk in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisking occasionally until warm and steamy. For extra froth, use a frother or whisk vigorously.
Stir in gingerbread syrup to the warm milk, adjusting to your desired sweetness and spice. Pour the milk mixture over the coffee in two mugs, combining the flavors.
Sprinkle a light amount of ground nutmeg on top for a festive garnish.
Add a gingerbread man for extra fun, and serve immediately.
