Instructions
- Make The Syrup - Skip This Step If You Are Using Store Bought SyrupBegin by making the syrup, adding all the syrup ingredients in a saucepan, and bringing it to a boil until the sugar has dissolved while stirring continuously. By doing this you breakdown the bubbles that naturally want to form and the mixture melts together quicker, it seems simple but is a key element in successfully making thisgingerbread latte recipe. Turn off the heat and transfer to an airtight bottleto store in the fridge.
- Make The Cream ToppingMix 1 tbsp syrup with the whip cream to form soft peaks, a handheldfrothing machine will make this quickly but a small whisk is just as effective.
- Heat The MilkHeat the milk on thestovetop just before boiling point and froth as you go, but not over whip it tobecome a thick foam.
- Grap Your MugAssembling allthe ready ingredients for this Gingerbread Latte is the best part!Start by stirring agenerous spoon of gingerbread syrupinto a strong cup of coffee, layer the frothed milk to the top and finish witha big dollop of whipped cream. A pinch of cinnamon adds some color and addedflavor, and a garnish of a gingerbread man cookie is essentially the icing onthe cake.
