It’s that time of the year – for all things sweet and yummy.  It’s #ChristmasSweetsWeek! This gingerbread latte fits right in with the sweet and yummy.  I loved the Starbucks gingerbread lattes when they used to sell them.  I wish they still would, that is until now.  I can make my own at home, anytime and it’s so much cheaper.  

I’ve seen recipes where you don’t have to use a syrup and I have tried them, wasn’t a fan.  I’ve used the store bought coffee syrups and they left a weird after taste, again not a fan.  So, I decided to make my own syrup.  Definitely the way to go!  The recipe for the gingerbread spice syrup is easy and takes 20 minutes to make.  It makes quite a bit and last a couple of weeks in the refrigerator.  

I really wanted a gingerbread house as a prop for this recipe and I searched everywhere for one I liked that wasn’t too expensive. Never found one and my daughter surprised me by saying she would decorate one for me! How cool is that?! She told me upfront, that it won’t be a masterpiece; I didn’t care about that!  I think she did great.

How to Make a Hansel and Gretel Gingerbread Latte:

To make the gingerbread syrup you will need water, sugar, and spices.  The hardest part to making the syrup is waiting for it to thicken.  It will take about 15-20 minutes of the syrup simmering for it to thicken.  Allow the syrup to cool some before pouring into any glass container.  

I used strong coffee to make this and steamed milk.  The amounts I used are my preference and you can add more or less of either coffee or milk.

There really isn’t too many instructions to this recipe once you make the syrup.  Add coffee into mug, add 3/4 ounce of gingerbread syrup (or to taste) to the coffee, stir; and add your steamed milk.  Top with whipped cream, if desired.

Servings: 2 lattes

Ingredients

For the Gingerbread Syrup:

  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground ginger
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla

For the latte:

  • 2 cups (6 oz each) strongly brewed coffee
  • 1 cup milk, steamed
  • whipped cream, optional

Instructions

For the Gingerbread Syrup:

  • In a small saucepan, combine the water, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and cloves. Give it a stir. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally so the sugar dissolves.
  • Once it comes to a boil, lower heat slightly and simmer until the syrup has thickened. This will take about 15-20 minutes. Be sure to stir the syrup occasionally.
  • Once the syrup has thickened, remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Let cool and pour into a glass jar. Store in refrigerator up to two weeks.
  • To use in lattes, use about 3/4 ounce per 6 oz of hot coffee.

To make latte:

  • Pour coffee into two mugs, add 3/4 ounce of gingerbread syrup into each mug. Stir.
  • Add steamed milk (about 1/2 cup per mug) and top with whipped cream, if desired.
