Gingerbread Latte

by

Gingerbread Latte - Holiday Latte of Starbucks. Yeah its holiday time when you see these on the Starbucks menu. This latte is a mix of hot steamed milk and ginger syrup and an espresso. But you can also make this with a normal coffee. You can create this wonderful drink at home to celebrate the holidays. A hot cuppa on a cold day. 🙂 🙂 Comfortably settling in a couch by the window with a good book in one hand and a hot latte on the other. What more to ask ? Enjoy!!!

Note

  1. An espresso is used for making gingerbread latte in many of the recipes. But a normal strongly brewed coffee is also good.
  2. The gingerbread syrup is made with ginger and molasses or honey. Since I did not have any of them I substituted it for brown sugar.
  3. Gingerbread syrup is available in many supermarkets. You can use them too.
