It’s finally the season when everyone craves something sweet and warm. On days when the chill gets too much and your regular coffee just doesn’t cut it, you might need a stronger and tastier pick-me-up for the evening. But why opt for a basic cappuccino or a latte when you can make a gingerbread latte, and feel the Christmas cheer warming you up?

Baker Shivesh Bhatia shared a recipe on his Instagram account for a delectable gingerbread latte that he wrote “is toooo good and you just can’t skip making it this season”.

While your coffee store lattes will always be there at your disposal, this gingerbread latte takes it a few notches higher, incorporating everything that makes for that unmistakable gingerbread taste that we love during winters.
