Serves: 1 jar
Ingredients
Gingerbread Syrup
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp molasses
Molasses Syrup
  • 1 3/4 cups maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup molasses
Additional Ingredients
  • milk
  • espresso
  •  whipping cream
Instructions
Gingerbread Syrup
  1. Add all of the Gingerbread Syrup ingredients, from the water to the molasses, into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce to simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool, this is when the syrup will thicken.
Molasses Syrup
  1. Meanwhile, in a small jar, combine the maple syrup and molasses, mixing well to blend.
Making Your Latte
  1. Steam your milk and pour into your mug. Add one or two shots of espresso. Measure in one tablespoon of the Gingerbread Syrup, taste and add more if desired.
  2. Top with whipped cream and drizzle over with the Molasses syrup.
  3. If you don't have an espresso machine, I'm sure you could mix together a small hot coffee with cream or milk, then stir in the Gingerbread Syrup to taste and top with whipped cream and Molasses Syrup.
