The first time I ever tried a gingerbread latte, I was at my local Starbucks during the holidays, and it left me in awe. The second I got home, I started trying different recipes and adding my own twists and flavors to them to reach the most holiday-friendly drink there is. After multiple tries, I was sure I perfected the taste. During a holiday gathering, I made lattes for the whole family, and they were all impressed by how delicious this holiday drink tasted.

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

First things first, you need to prepare your coffee. Using an espresso maker, make two shots of espresso or 1/2 a cup of freshly brewed coffee that holds a strong taste and smell. If you don’t have an espresso machine, just prepare your coffee as you normally would, and set it aside.
To make the Gingerbread Syrup, put a medium or a small saucepan over medium heat. Add in half the amount of milk you have (1/2 cup) and mix it with your molasses, ground ginger, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and brown sugar. Also, add in your ground nutmeg (1/4 teaspoon) and stir the whole mixture together.
Keep stirring until all the grounds and spices are well dissolved, then let it simmer until the next step is completed.
If you have an espresso machine or a small milk frother, use it to steam and froth the remaining amount of milk, which should be 1/2 cup. If not, just heat up the milk in the microwave or over the stove and whisk it well until it starts foaming.
Take your gingerbread syrup off the heat, and now you should have three things: your syrup, frothed and steamed milk, along with some coffee or two shots of espresso.
As you can probably guess, start by pouring your coffee or espresso into a large mug or a mason jar. After that, add in your gingerbread syrup and stir them well. Lastly, add in the frothed milk and stir it one last time to melt all the holiday flavors together.
While the homemade gingerbread latte itself is all done, adding some garnish could really bring your latte to a whole new level. I recommend adding some whipped cream on top (who doesn’t love whipped cream?)
Also, use the remaining 1/4 teaspoon on ground nutmeg and sprinkle it around the whipped cream. You can also sprinkle some more ground cinnamon or ginger to add a little more taste. Lastly, you can add a little bar of white chocolate or a gingerbread man on top for a holiday-friendly gingerbread latte.
Lastly, if you find it not sweet enough for your liking, you can add more brown sugar and stir it well.
