TIPS, VARIATIONS, AND SUBSTITUTIONS
🍂 Black Espresso – For those who enjoy a deeper, more intense coffee flavor, try using a dark roast or even a black espresso. It will provide a bold contrast to the sweet gingerbread syrup.
🍂 Cinnamon Twist – A sprinkle of cinnamon can add a delightful twist to your latte. Mix it with the ginger syrup or dust it on top of the foam for a fragrant, spicy kick that really captures the essence of the holidays.
🍂 Sweetness to Taste – If the gingerbread syrup alone doesn’t satisfy your sweet tooth, feel free to add a teaspoon of brown sugar. This will deepen the flavor and add a reminiscent note to those fresh-baked treats.
🍂 Dairy-Free Options – Oat milk offers a creamy texture, but you can still experiment with other dairy-free milk like almond or cashew. Each will add its own unique flavor profile to your latte.
🍂 Double Up – If you’re looking for an extra kick, go for a double shot of espresso. This will ensure that the coffee flavor shines through the rich gingerbread and vanilla notes.
🍂 Cool It Down – Want your Gingerbread Latte iced? No problem. Simply chill all the ingredients, pour over ice, and enjoy a cool, yet still festive, beverage.
