- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
To Make the Gingerbread Syrup:
-
In a medium saucepan, set over medium heat, combine the sugars, molasses, vanilla, ginger, cinnamon and salt. Warm until everything has dissolved and there are no lumps of spices, about 3 to 4 minutes. I find a whisk really helps make this super smooth.
To Make the Gingerbread Latte:
-
Pour the gingerbread syrup into a cup. Warm it up if it’s straight from the fridge. Pour in the 4 shots of espresso, and top with the frothed milk. whipped cream, freshly grated nutmeg and a little gingerbread cookie or marshmallow for garnish.
