What makes this latte taste like gingerbread?
I’m glad you asked! Gingerbread cookies are traditionally made with a blend of spice that gives that recognizable flavor. And that is exactly what this gingerbread latte has! It’s made with a blend of nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and ginger with a touch of added sweetness from pure maple syrup and molasses.
