Gingerbread Latte
Start by brewing your coffee. For this recipe I used the Mr. Coffee® At-Home Pour Over coffee maker
Next you'll want to steam/heat your milk and cream mixture. Please note that you don't have to use cream if you don't want to, you can just use 1/2 cup of milk instead. I used a milk steamer that also froths the milk. If you don't have a steamer or milk frother, just heat the milk/cream until it's warm
In a large coffee mug, add 1 tablespoon of Gingerbread Syrup
Pour freshly brewed coffee into mug and stir lightly
Add steamed/frothed milk on top and garnish with freshly grated cinnamon if desired
