Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole milk You can use any type of milk you like for this latte recipe. 1%, 2%, soy milk, oat milk, almond milk, and even coconut milk all work well!
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or half and half OR more milk of choice
  • 2 tbsp gingerbread syrup homemade or store-bought
  • 1 tbsp instant coffee + 3 tbsp hot water OR strong brewed coffee OR fresh espresso shots
  • sweetener of choice, optional I find the gingerbread syrup makes this latte sweet enough for me, but if you’d like yours a little sweeter, you can add more syrup. Or any of the following sweeteners. Brown sugar, maple syrup, white sugar, and even white chocolate!
  • whipped cream for topping
  • mini gingerbread man for topping

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan combine the milk and heavy cream. Heat the mixture over medium heat, whisking often until it is hot, and small bubbles appear around the edges of the pan.
  • Add the gingerbread syrup and whisk to combine. Mix together the hot water and instant coffee,(or coffee/espresso of choice.) then pour your prepared hot coffee into the milk mixture, and whisk to combine.
  • Pour the finished latte into a large coffee mug, and top with whipped cream, and a mini gingerbread cookie.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

To make super easy homemade whipped cream, simply combine, 1 cup heavy cream, 2 tbsp powdered sugar, and 3 tsp vanilla extract in a large bowl. Beat using an electric mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form. Enjoy!
If you like you can also turn this recipe into an iced gingerbread latte! To make an iced latte, combine your hot coffee or espresso and the gingerbread syrup. Fill a tall glass(or mason jar) with ice, then pour the gingerbread coffee mixture over it. Fill any remaining space with milk, give it a quick stir, top with whipped cream, and enjoy!
