Instructions
Gingerbread Syrup

- Transfer the syrup to a heat-safe container and store it in the fridge until you're ready to use it.
Whipped Cream

Gingerbread Eggnog Latte

- Pour in the freshly brewed espresso, then top the drink off with the whipped cream, a dusting of gingerbread spice, and enjoy!
Notes
The syrup makes enough for ~8 drinks. You can scale it down if desired to make less, or you can keep the extra syrup stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
*I used a pre-made gingerbread spice. You can sub in any pre-made gingerbread spice or use a blend of your favorite gingerbread spices here.
