Just blend two tablespoons of cocoa powder with your espresso before incorporating the gingerbread spice blend.
Opt for coconut milk for its natural sweetness and creaminess. This rich and satisfying combo not only tastes indulgent but also provides a boost of antioxidants from the cocoa.
Pumpkin
Pumpkin spice twist
Pumpkin spice and gingerbread spices have a lot in common, but when you mix them together, you get a unique flavor profile that's perfect for those late autumn days.
Simply blend cooked pumpkin and almond milk to create a pumpkin puree mix, then heat it gently with your espresso and gingerbread spices.
The end result is a creamy, dreamy latte that captures the spirit of fall in every sip.
Chai
Chai-inspired ginger latte
Chai tea enthusiasts can elevate their experience by combining their beloved chai spices with gingerbread seasoning for a fragrant fusion latte.
Brew your chai tea as you normally would, but add an extra teaspoon of ground ginger for that gingerbread warmth.
Blend this spiced tea with frothed soy milk - its natural sweetness balances the robust spices perfectly.
Cold brew

Swirl in vegan caramel sauce for that cozy sweetness and velvety richness, then pour over ice and top off with cold frothed cashew milk for a silky-smooth finish.
