I love homemade latte’s, especially my pumpkin spice latte and coconut milk latte! I recently tried a gingerbread latte at my local coffee shop and fell in love with it’s warm spices and gingerbread flavor.

I used homemade french press coffee, organic gingerbread spices like ground ginger and cinnamon, and sweetened the latte with pure maple syrup. Needless to say, this latte is devious and perfect for this time of year.
