How to make a gingerbread latte Starbucks recipe

You will want to start with this homemade gingerbread syrup.

Next, you will want to froth the milk and there are three ways to froth it. 

• Milk Frother – If you have one, simply fill the milk frother up to its maximum line and start the frothing.
• Handheld Milk Frother – Warm the gingerbread creamer to 140°F to 155°F. Then using a handheld frother, start frothing until it becomes foamy.
• Jar Method– Place the gingerbread coffee creamer in a glass jar (without the lid) and microwave until warm – do not boil. Place the lid on the jar and shake it until foamy. It will become foamy. Be careful of the temperature when holding a glass jar.

Brew espresso and pour two shots of espresso or hot coffee into your mug.

Stir in two tablespoons of gingerbread syrup. Top with frothy milk and dairy-free whipped cream for an extra treat and enjoy!
