Yes! Let your coffee, milk, and syrup cool completely before pouring over ice. It’s a refreshing twist on the holiday classic and perfect for chilly winter mornings or sunny afternoons.

What type of coffee should I use?

To mimic that classic Starbucks-inspired holiday latte, use a bold espresso or strong-brewed coffee—French press or moka pot are perfect. Don’t have an espresso maker?

Can I double the gingerbread syrup?

Accepted Answer

Of course! Doubling the syrup gives you enough for gifts, gatherings, or a week of cozy mornings. You can also drizzle it over pancakes or add a splash to cocktails and mocktails for extra sweetness and spice.
