Keto Gingerbread Lattes
- 1 cup unsweetened nut milk (use hemp milk for nut-free)
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream (use coconut cream for dairy-free)
- 2 shots espresso (or 1/2 cup strongly brewed coffee)
- 6 to 8 tbsp gingerbread syrup

Instructions
Gingerbread Simple Syrup
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, sweeteners, ginger, cinnamon sticks, cloves and peppercorns. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool in the pan. Stir in the vanilla extract and then strain the mixure through a fine-mesh sieve. You need to press on the solids to release as much of the liquid as possible.
- Store a glass jar or bottle in the fridge for up to 1 month. Shake gently before using.
Gingerbread Latte
- Gently warm the almond milk and cream together in a saucepan or in the microwave. Froth with a frother if you have one.
- Divide the espresso between two mugs and add 3 to 4 tbsp of syrup to each much. Divide the warm frothed milk between the mugs.
- Top each with a few tablespoons of lightly sweetened whipped cream, if desired.
