Gingerbread Latte
Ingredients
1 cup water
3⁄4 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp Gingerbread Spices or cinnamon
1⁄2 cup milk, your choice
1 tbsp gingerbread syrup
1 cup freshly brewed coffee or 2 shots espresso
Preparation
In a Multipurpose Pot - 8 cup, bring water to a boil. Stir in sugar until dissolved, then stir in spice. Reduce heat to medium; simmer for 7 min. Makes about 2⁄3 cup syrup. Syrup will thicken as it cools. If making ahead, cover and refrigerate up to one week.
Pour milk and 1 tbsp syrup into Multipurpose Pot; bring to a boil over high heat. Using a whisk or frother, froth milk until foamy.
Divide hot coffee into two mugs; top with frothed milk. Finish with a dusting of gingerbread spice, if desired.

Think beyond the latte! Use up leftover syrup for rum-based cocktails, martinis, or even mulled cider.
Make a caramel gingerbread latte by drizzling with prepared caramel sauce before serving.
