Gingerbread Latte Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2 shots espresso
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a small saucepan, add the almond milk, espresso shots, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and sugar.
- Heat mixture: Place the saucepan on medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to combine the spices and sugar.
- Simmer and stir: Once the mixture simmers, reduce the heat to low and continue stirring regularly for 2 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Remove from heat: After 2 minutes, take the saucepan off the heat to prevent boiling over or burning the milk.
- Serve: Pour the gingerbread latte evenly into two cups.
- Optional topping: Top each cup with whipped cream if desired for added creaminess and festive flair.
Notes
- If you lack an espresso or coffee machine, substitute with 2 teaspoons instant or decaf coffee dissolved in 1/4 cup boiling water. In this case, reduce the almond milk to 1 3/4 cups.
- To make an iced gingerbread latte, prepare as directed and pour over ice cubes for a refreshing twist.
- Any sugar type can be used according to your preference or dietary needs.
