Brew a fresh shot of espresso using your preferred method, such as an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker.
While the espresso is brewing, steam 1 cup of milk using a milk frother or by heating it on the stove and whisking until frothy.
In a mug, combine the espresso with 2 tablespoons of gingerbread syrup, adjusting to taste based on how sweet you prefer your latte.
Pour the steamed milk over the espresso mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon to let it float on top.
Gently stir the milk and espresso to combine, leaving a layer of foam on top.
Optional: sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg or a few crushed ginger snaps over the foam for an extra festive touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your cozy, holiday-inspired Gingerbread Latte.
