Gingerbread Lattes




Well hello there!

Today I am going to share a nifty little recipe for Gingerbread Lattes! So delicious :D

Gingerbread lattes are crazy easy to make and would be a nice gift for that friend who enjoys hot drinks. We made Gingerbread coffees and a Gingerbread hot chocolate for Jaimee, the only non-caffeine-addicted flattie here in the Little House.

So you will need these things


2 cups water
1-1 1/2 cups of sugar, depending on how sweet you want it
(I used a mixture of raw and white sugar for that yummy dark colour)
2 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla essence, or extract
(This makes about 500ml of syrup)

All you need to do is combine these ingredients in a saucepan and boil for about 15 minutes.


And you have your syrup!
To give your syrup as a gift, put it in a nice glass bottle. I save glass bottles that look nice, wash them and remove their labels. 


Make a little label for it


and you are ready to give it away to that special someone :-)

I didn't give this one away though, we simply had to try it ourselves!

One shot of gingerbread syrup with some coffee and some warm milk is a delicious treat!
We don't have a milk steamer, so I warmed the milk in the microwave and shook it up in a jar to get a little fluffiness




Sprinkle a little nutmeg on the top and serve!
If you usually take sugar in your coffee, chances are you won't need it this time, gingerbread syrup is all the sweetness you'll need.

If you aren't a coffee drinker, gingerbread syrup is just as tasty with some hot chocolate.

Give it a try for a little Christmas spice and yumminess!
