This homemade gingerbread latte is the ultimate Starbucks dupe you can make at home! This cozy copycat gingerbread latte recipe is creamy, perfectly spiced, and perfect for those cold winter days.

I love going to Starbucks for their festive, holiday drinks. But, I’m usually craving a gingerbread latte way before the stores start offering them and long after the holiday menu has gone away. Problem solved because now they are so easy to make at home with this recipe!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe:

Saves Money! Starbucks and other coffee shops can get expensive when visiting often. Making specialty drinks at home saves money.
Quality Ingredients – This recipe uses natural ingredients and no artificial syrups or other sweeteners.
Easy to Personalize – Want oat milk? No problem. Like your gingerbread more gingery…you are totally in control!
Delicious Hot or Cold! We’ve been having a little winter heat wave here so I’ve been making these as iced gingerbread lattes too.

Recipe Ingredients:

Milk – This recipe uses whole make but you can substitute your preferred milk. Depending on the milk selected, the texture might not be the same level of creamy.
gingerbread syrup – This homemade gingerbread syrup is perfect in the latte! Make a batch and keep it in the fridge for us over and over again.
Espresso or Freshly Brewed Strong Coffee – No Espresso machine…no problem. You can substitute the espresso with really strong coffee.
Ground Cinnamon and Whipped Cream – These are optional toppings if you want to add a little extra to your homemade latte.

This homemade gingerbread latte is a cinch to make. Start with steamed milk of your choice, mix in a shot of espresso or brewed coffee, and add a couple of spoonfuls of gingerbread syrup to infuse it with flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Top it with a whipped cream dollop and a cinnamon sprinkle for a festive finish.
