What kitchen tools will I need to make this Gingerbread Latte Syrup?

• Can opener
• Measuring spoons
• Measuring cups
• Sauce pan
• Whisk
• Mason jar or wide mouth mason jar

I prefect to store my homemade gingerbread syrup in a glass jar with a simple label. That way I know what it is and I can scoop out a tablespoon or two each time I need some. You can also store it in a food grade squeeze bottle and squeeze it right into a warm beverage.

Ingredients

You will be amazed at how easy it is to make this healthy gingerbread syrup with simple, paleo ingredients.

• Coconut milk
• Coconut sugar
• Molasses
• Ground cinnamon
• Ground ginger
• Cloves
• Salt

Ingredient substitutions

If you do not have coconut sugar, replace it with some dark brown sugar. Light coconut milk is best for this recipe, but you can also use full fat coconut milk or coconut cream. Using thicker coconut milk will result in a thicker syrup.

If you want to use fresh ginger, add slices to the syrup while you simmer. Then, remove the full slices before cooling and storing it.

Let’s make a Gingerbread Latte Syrup!

Step 1: Mix latte syrup ingredients

To begin, add coconut milk, coconut sugar, molasses, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt to a small sauce pan over low heat. Then, whisk to combine the ingredients.

Step 2: Bring syrup to a boil and simmer

Next, turn the heat on to medium-high and bring to a boil, whisking frequently. Be careful not to let the gingerbread syrup boil over. Reduce the mixture to a simmer.

Then, simmer the syrup for 14 minutes whisking regularly. Finally, add a pinch of salt to the pan and remove from heat.

Step 4: Cool and enjoy!

Allow the gingerbread latte syrup to cool completely and pour into a glass jar. Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

HOMEMADE Starbucks Gingerbread LATTE RECIPE

The gingerbread latte is no longer available at Starbucks in the United States, BUT the good news is that you can make one at home! You can make this

• 1 tbsp gingerbread syrup
• 1/2 cup of milk of choice
• 2 shots of espresso or 1 small cup of coffee
• Cinnamon sugar for garnish

To begin, brew espresso or coffee and place in mug of choice. Then, froth milk with the latte syrup in a milk frother or warm milk and mix with latte syrup using a hand frother.

Next, pour gingerbread latte foam over coffee or espresso. Finally, garnish your mug with a dash of cinnamon sugar or candied ginger.

Storage

Once prepared, you must allow the syrup to cool completely before transferring it to a glass jar with an airtight lid. Store the latte syrup in the fridge for up to two weeks.

Use a few tablespoons at a time to mix into coffee, teas or drizzle over sweet dishes. I like to make a gingerbread syrup cold foam and pour it over my homemade cold brew.

You can also add a tablespoon or two to a couple of shots of espresso. Then, shake it over ice using this iced shaken espresso recipe.
