Ingredients

For the Gingerbread Syrup

For the Coffee

  • 1 shot of espresso or 1/4 cup strong coffee
  • ½ cup milk heated and frothed
  • nutmeg or cinnamon to sprinkle on top optional

Instructions

For the Gingerbread Syrup

  • Combine all ingredients in a small skillet or saucepan. Bring to a boil and then turn the heat down to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Let cool. Store in the fridge in a container with a lid. Lasts for about a week or two in the fridge.

For the Coffee

  • Pour the hot coffee into your serving mug.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of the gingerbread syrup and stir together with the hot coffee to dissolve together.
  • Heat the milk of your choice and froth with a milk frother or a whisk.
  • Pour frothed milk into the coffee mug. Pour carefully to allow the unfrothed milk into the cup first. The froth naturally moves over when you pour. Finish with the frothy foam.
  • Sprinkle with extra nutmeg or cinnamon.
