Gingerbread Iced Latte Recipe (Better Than Starbucks)

in Brewed on 09/02/20

Enjoy this holiday coffee beverage at any time of the year — it’s that good.

  • It’s time for the holiday coffee recipes to commence as we enter a new season.
  • This gingerbread iced latte is the perfect fall or winter treat.
  • To make it even more heavenly, add a hint of nutmeg over the top as a final touch.

You can purchase a pre-made gingerbread spice syrup to make this coffee drink even quicker.

This recipe includes the instructions to make your own delicious gingerbread simple syrup. However, if you don’t have the time for that, just find a high-quality brand such as Torani’s, Amoretti’s, or Maison Routin’s gingerbread syrup.

You’ll add the same amount of the store-bought syrup as is called for in the recipe below (2 to 3 teaspoons).

Store the leftover gingerbread syrup in a mason jar to enjoy all season long.


If you did make your own gingerbread syrup, you’ll definitely have extra. I put mine in a small mason jar in the fridge. It should keep for about two weeks.

Be sure to let it cool completely to room temperature prior to placing in the refrigerator.

If you want to prepare this drink warm, skip the ice cubes and enjoy from a cute holiday mug!

If iced coffee isn’t your style, you can also prepare this drink warm by skipping the ice cubes and foaming your milk. You can use an electric frother or steam your milk in the microwave. See this post here on how to do it!

And to make this gingerbread latte even more festive, enjoy your drink out of an adorable holiday mug. Check out Daily Christmas Inspo’s post on 6 of the cutest holiday mugs you must have this season!

For a more indulgent treat, top this drink with dark chocolate whipped cream (recipe below!).

To take this iced latte to the next level, use dark chocolate whipped cream to give the drink its finishing touch. Though it might sound like an odd combination at first, the dark chocolate and gingerbread flavors actually blend quite decadently.

To make the whipped cream, follow the recipe that’s laid out here in my strawberry shortcake recipe.

Use a glass straw or stainless steel straw.

Note: I may earn a small commission when you make a purchase through some of the below links. Read my disclosure policy to learn more.

When your drink is ready to serve, use a glass straw to enjoy the purest taste. Glass won’t impart any other flavors (assuming it’s clean).

Stainless steel straws are great too because they absorb the temperature of the beverage they’re in. That means they will help to keep your drink cold for longer. My FAVORITE steel straws are Klean Kanteen’s because they have soft silicone tops that prevent you from bumping (or even chipping!) your front teeth. Buy Klean Kanteen’s stainless steel straws here!

As always, use coffee ice cubes if you can to avoid a watery beverage.

This is something I say in many of my posts, but I highly encourage using coffee ice cubes or my famous cold brew coffee ice cubes. This will keep your drink from getting watered down like with regular ice.

And you don’t want that after all the hard work you put in in preparing it.

    How long can you keep the simple syrup for?

      Homemade simple syrups last about one week in the fridge! I’d suggest making a smaller batch if you don’t think you’ll finish all of it in the week.

Iced Oat Milk Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe

Pumpkin spice mixture:
½ cup oat milk (barista blend if possible)
⅓ cup brown sugar (white is okay too)
2 tsp pumpkin puree
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice 
1 tsp vanilla extract
Latte
2 shots of espresso
1 cup oat milk 
1 tbsp pumpkin spice mixture
½ cup whipped cream (optional)
2 ice cubes (if enjoying cold)

Pumpkin spice mixture:
1. In a small sauce pan, add oat milk, sugar, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice. Bring to medium heat and whisk ingredients together until sugar is dissolved. Do not let it boil.
2. Once the mixture starts to steam and the sugar is completely dissolved, remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla. Strain through a fine mesh filter into a glass jar for easy storage.
Latte:
3. Pull your espresso shots, and pour inside your desired coffee mug. Add the strained pumpkin spice mixture to the espresso and stir well.
4. If enjoying warm (skip to next step if enjoying iced), steam your milk using a steam wand, milk frother, or mason jar (see post above to make foam without a frother) until foamy. Pour velvety milk on top of the espresso mixture.
5. For iced pumpkin spice lattes, add 2 to 3 ice cubes or cold brew coffee cubes to your mixture.
6. Top with whipped cream, if desired, and dust with pumpkin pie spice. Enjoy!

Siphon coffee offers an incredible experience in taste and in aesthetic. Not only does a vacuum siphon coffee brewer have that wow factor, but it also offers clean coffee that’s bursting with flavor. It’s a coffee experience worth having if you appreciate speciality coffee.
