Save some money and be your own barista in the kitchen! It’s not difficult to make your own custom coffees that gives you all of the wonderful flavors you love, without the price tag. Have you ever wanted to make the Starbucks Gingerbread Latte Recipe at home? This copycat version is the BEST homemade version. It’s the perfect Christmas coffee and anyone can make it because so easy to throw together. 

I became a coffee addict when our second son was born. There was no way I could get through my day anymore without the help of caffeine. Unfortunately, I quickly developed a Starbucks habit and my wallet was suffering. Since I have holiday babies, Gingerbread Latte was my go-to order. Once I tweaked a few coffee recipes and played with the flavor, I came up with this version and it can’t be beat.

Looking for other great Gingerbread recipes? Gingerbread Pancakes and Gingerbread Waffles are a family favorite. As a tradition, we always make Gingerbread Men Cookies to pass out. Lastly, Gingerbread Cheesecake Dip is perfect for Christmas movie nights.

How To Make The Starbucks Gingerbread Latte Recipe

What I love about this recipe is that you can make a batch of the gingerbread flavored syrup and then you just add fresh coffee to it. So you can make it and enjoy it for a few weeks by just adding your fresh coffee. It’s also great on busy mornings when you’re too rushed – just take out your syrup and throw your coffee together.

What To Eat Alongside This Starbucks Gingerbread Latte Recipe

A truly decadent holiday breakfast means I’m adding a fresh pastry to this coffee. It’s a great delicious breakfast that’s also warming during the winter holiday months. I love to have a slice of Cranberry Orange Bread alongside my beverage. If you’re making this coffee for guests, then consider a breakfast charcuterie board for the ultimate presentation.
