    Dairy-Free Gingerbread Latte (Starbucks Copycat!)

    0
    By Sarah Hatfield on December 10, 2019 Beverages, Dairy-Free Recipes, Sarah's Recipes

    I was looking forward to buying a Starbucks Gingerbread Latte this holiday season so I could make an accurate dairy-free version. You know, for science. Alas, the Starbucks Gingebread Latte is no more. Luckily, the ingredients are still listed on Starbucks’ site, so I used that as a jumping off point to create this dairy-free gingerbread latte recipe.

    This Dairy-Free Gingerbread Latte is a Sweet Starbucks Copycat

    There are many copycat Starbucks Gingerbread Latte recipes online. Most of them use just ginger syrup, but the original ingredients list vanilla syrup as well. I used both syrups in my recipe to come as close as possible to the original.

    Dairy-Free Gingerbread Latte Recipe Options

    For the optimal experience, I highly recommend enjoying this recipe as is. It’s an indulgence, but a delicious one! Nevertheless, I have a few substitution suggestions if needed.

    Lower Sugar: We love this beverage as a special treat, but you could omit the vanilla syrup to lessen the sugar content. You could also reduce the ginger syrup to one tablespoon and omit the whipped cream for an even lower sugar option.

    Shortcut: This dairy-free gingerbread latte recipe is from scratch. It even includes quick and easy recipes for the vanilla and ginger syrups, which are truly budget friendly. I also think they taste better than store bought. But you can purchase dairy-free syrups if preferred.

    Lighter: I used the plain dairy-free milk plus coconut milk mixture from my Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe to achieve the creaminess and flavor of a Starbucks drink. For a lighter beverage, you can omit the coconut milk and increase the dairy-free milk beverage to 1/2 cup. But it won’t have the thick consistency of a Starbucks Gingerbread Latte.

    This fall-spiced beverage is just as delicious as the original, but at a fraction of the cost! The cook time is mostly the time to make the syrups. Once you have those on hand, you can whip up a latte in a hot minute!
