Fresh Ginger Substitute

Ginger: if you don't have any fresh ginger you can substitute with ground ginger. Use ½ teaspoon ground ginger in place of the 1 ½ tablespoon of fresh for this recipe.

Sweeter Version

Like a sweeter or less sweet version? Adjust the amount of gingerbread syrup to your taste. We used 1 tablespoon for one espresso shot, but feel free to add or less. For an authentic copycat Starbucks gingerbread latte recipe, you might add up to 3 tablespoon with two shots of espresso.

Ingredients

Gingerbread Syrup

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3 whole cloves
  • 1 ½ tablespoon peeled and grated fresh ginger

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan combine water, sugar, molasses, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and fresh ginger. Stir to combine.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil over high-medium heat. Let boil for 5 minutes, to create a thicker syrup.
    Let the mixture cool to room temperature and pour it through a wire sieve to strain out the ginger and cloves. Then store in an airtight container, like a mason jar, or bottle in the refrigerator.
  • To make the gingerbread latte, make one shot of fresh espresso in your espresso machine. And add one third of steamed milk, and one third of frothed milk to your hot coffee. Lastly add your gingerbread syrup. We used 1tbsp, but adjust according to your taste, for a more or less sweet drink.
