Description
Bring the cozy flavors of the holiday season right into your kitchen with this homemade Starbucks Gingerbread Latte! This festive coffee drink combines rich espresso, creamy steamed milk, and a homemade gingerbread syrup made with brown sugar, maple syrup, and warm holiday spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 serving instant decaf Nespresso
- 1–2 tablespoons homemade gingerbread syrup
- ¾ cup milk
- Ice for an iced latte
Instructions
- Brew two shots of espresso. Set aside briefly to cool so it doesn't melt all the ice immediately.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of homemade gingerbread syrup into a large glass.
- Fill the glass with ice cubes.
- Add approximately 3/4 to 1 cup of cold milk, depending on the size of your glass and how creamy you like your latte.
- Slowly pour the cooled espresso over the milk and ice.
Notes
Make the syrup ahead: Prepare your gingerbread syrup in advance so you can quickly make iced lattes throughout the week.
Let the espresso cool: Allowing the espresso to cool slightly helps keep your ice from melting too quickly.
