Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots espresso or 3/4 cup strong brewed coffee
  • 1 cup whole milk (or oat, almond, or soy milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon molasses (or dark brown sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch ground nutmeg
  • Pinch ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
  • Gingerbread cookies (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Brew a double shot of espresso or 3/4 cup of strong coffee and pour into a mug.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine milk, molasses, maple syrup or brown sugar, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla extract.
  3. Heat gently over medium heat, whisking constantly until the mixture is steamy and everything is dissolved. Do not boil.
  4. Remove from heat and froth the milk using a milk frother, whisk, or by shaking in a jar with a lid until foamy.
  5. Pour the gingerbread milk mixture over the coffee and stir gently to combine.
  6. Top with whipped cream, sprinkle with cinnamon or cookie crumbs, and garnish with a gingerbread cookie if desired.
  7. Enjoy immediately while hot.

Notes

For dairy-free or vegan versions, use plant-based milk and vegan whipped cream. Adjust spice and sweetness to taste. Froth milk using a jar or French press if you don’t have a frother. Make gingerbread syrup ahead for quick lattes all week.
