- ⅓ cup maple syrup or brown sugar
- 1½ cups milk
- 2 cups strong brewed coffee
- whipped cream optional

Instructions
- In a small saucepan add the ground ginger, molasses, cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla, and maple syrup (or sugar). Place over medium heat, and stir to combine.
- Add the milk to the saucepan and stir to combine.
- Add the coffee, and continue stirring until the mixture is hot, around 5-8 minutes. Do not boil!
- Carefully pour your gingerbread coffee into mugs and top with whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon (optional).
Notes
- I use whole milk for this coffee recipe, but you can use any milk you prefer, including plant based milks.
- You can use maple syrup or brown sugar for this recipe - both taste great.
- Warm the gingerbread latte mixture on a medium heat while stirring - don't let it boil.
- A small saucepan with a pour spout is the easiest way to pour your coffee into your mugs without spilling.
- Leftover gingerbread latte mix can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Warm it up to enjoy hot or serve over ice for an iced gingerbread latte!
