  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Low Carb Copycat Starbucks Gingerbread Syrup

  • In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine water and keto brown sugar. Whisk well until the sugar starts to dissolve.
  • Once the sugar is starting to dissolve, add in the molasses. Whisk well until the molasses starts to blend into the sugar water mixture.
  • Now add in the all of the ground spices to the mixture: ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and ground nutmeg.
  • Bring the syrup to a boil then turn the heat down to low so you can simmer the ingredients for about 10-15 minutes.
  • I test to see if my syrup is ready by dipping a spoon into the mixture and letting it run off of the back. If it coats a spoon like this, then it is ready to take off of the heat.
  • Once you remove the saucepan from heat, stir in vanilla extract.
  • Now let the syrup cool a bit before putting it into a heat safe mason jar, airtight jar or airtight container to save for later use.
  • Once the syrup has come to room temperature put it into the fridge. The syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a month.
  • It will thicken up considerably to a paste like consistency since the keto brown sugar thickens with cool temperatures. Don't worry since it only takes a little bit of heat to get it thinned out again.

Low Carb Gingerbread Latte

  • Start off by brewing some strong coffee using your preferred method, whether it's a coffee maker, French press, or a Nespresso machine.
  • I prefer a French Press as it gives the strong flavor of an espresso without the need for an expensive machine.
  • Get out your favorite coffee mug and add in 2-3 tablespoons of syrup to the bottom of the cup.
  • Now pour in a little bit of coffee and stir it up. This makes sure that the homemade gingerbread syrup dissolves well.
  • Add in additional coffee to the cup but leave room at the top for some of your milk of choice.
  • You may just add it in normally and stir it up or get fancy and make a frothy textured milk with a milk frother or handheld frother.
  • The best way to create the milk foam is to heat your milk of choice on medium heat in a small saucepan or frother pitcher.
  • To avoid boiling the milk, watch it closely and remove from heat when you see streams of steam rising from it. You are looking for a warm, steamed milk consistency.
  • Once it is steamed, froth up to your liking. Slowly add the warm, frothy milk to the coffee and syrup mixture.
  • You can top with a big dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or nutmeg for that extra festive touch.
