Are Gingerbread Lattes Good?

Yes, it's a little heavier on the ginger and lighter on the cinnamon than other holiday drinks, so it tastes like gingerbread. It's a warm, spicy holiday drink.

What Does Starbucks Gingerbread Latte Taste Like?

The gingerbread latte Starbucks recipe tastes like a gingerbread cookie, but it doesn't have a strong molasses flavor like you'd expect.

Personally, that's fine with me. Molasses can taste bitter sometimes, so I make this a gingerbread latte recipe without molasses.

It's warm and spicy, but it's a simple recipe with ginger and cinnamon.

I find their drink pretty sweet. I like making my own gingerbread syrup for coffee recipe so I can cut back on the sweetness by using less syrup and making my own gingerbread syrup sugar free.

What is in the Starbucks Gingerbread Latte?

A gingerbread latte at Starbucks has:

Milk
Brewed Espresso
Gingerbread Syrup [Sugar, Water, Natural Flavor, Sodium Benzoate, Citric Acid]
Whipped Cream [Cream (Cream, Mono And Diglycerides, Carageenan)
Vanilla Syrup (Sugar, Water, Natural Flavors, Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid)]
Nutmeg

I'm avoiding carageenan because it can cause inflammation in the body. I have enough of that, thank you.

I like to make a healthy gingerbread latte at home so I can use real ingredients and avoid artificial ingredients and flavors. I can also make a gingerbread syrup sugar free to make a vegan gingerbread latte.

Yes, Starbucks discontinued this holiday drink. If you want to have one, you'll have to make a homemade gingerbread latte recipe.
