Starbucks has set the standard with its line-up of delicious and seasonally inspired coffee beverages. Over the years, their holiday menu has included the Peppermint Mocha, Santa Claus Frappuccino, and Gingerbread Latte – the latter of which was unfortunately discontinued after 2019. All hope is not lost, however – Starbucks has since released the recipe for their famous Gingerbread Latte, so you can recreate the tasty beverage at home! Check out the recipe below.
