This easy gingerbread latte is the sweetest drink of the holiday season! The warm spices combined with the coffee and whipped cream - it’s the best drink to cozy up to. Undeniably the perfect drink for sipping on while opening gifts on Christmas morning. So if you love the flavor of gingerbread, but don’t want to go through the hassle of baking, then this recipe is for you!
I love holiday-inspired coffee drinks, but this year a famous coffee shop, that shall not be named, created a whole new menu the holiday season. Let’s put it this way, a sugar cookie latte would never taste like that! And a caramel creme brulee latte…is just a caramel latte. There is nothing amazing about any of the holiday drinks, I’m sorry! What’s more upsetting is that they discontinued the gingerbread latte! So, in Floured Frame fashion, I decided to recreate it and share it with all of you!

Easy Gingerbread Latte
Equipment
- Small saucepan
- Whisk
- Coffee maker I used an espresso machine
- 2 Mugs
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups milk of choice (I used soy )
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger

- 4 shots espresso (or 1 cup of strong brewed coffee)
- Whipped cream (I used Reddiwhip Almond Milk)
Instructions

- Add your coffee to the cups and mix it together with the milk mixture. I poured 2 shots of espresso into both cups. If you’re doing a different brew method, add as much coffee as you please.
- Top it off with some whipped cream and dust a bit of cinnamon over the top. Serve and enjoy!
