It’s here! It’s finally here! The holidays are upon us, and you know what that means: carols playing in the air, people are rushing to get their shopping done, and Starbucks has come out with their yearly Christmas drinks.

Our personal favorite: their gingerbread lattes!

Now, we don’t always have the time (or patience) to line up at a Starbucks to grab a gingerbread latte, so we thought, “Why not make a Starbucks gingerbread syrup recipe of our own?”

This easy and delicious Starbucks syrup recipe will allow you to make your own gingerbread syrup at home that you can use for drinks and desserts!

You’ll be able to get that sweet and spicy festive taste that you love in the limited-edition Starbucks menu without having to line up.

How to make gingerbread syrup?

All you need to make this simple gingerbread syrup recipe at home is a saucepan, spices, water, vanilla extract, sugar, and yes, salt and pepper! Salt and pepper help bring out the flavors of your spices and cuts through the sweetness of the sugar and vanilla extract.

How long does gingerbread syrup last?

You can keep gingerbread syrup in your fridge for up to 3 months.

How to store gingerbread syrup?

Store gingerbread syrup in airtight jars. Our personal favorite? Mason jars! They look awesome and the glass won’t react with the syrup even if you store it for long periods.

Plastic containers might leach the syrup and make the plastic smell like the syrup even after you clean the container.

Our CookingChew Cooking Tips:

  1. If you want a thicker syrup with stronger flavor, reduce the syrup for a longer time. Be careful, however, since cooking the syrup down too much can result in it becoming bitter and unappetizing.
  2. While cooking, don’t forget to stir the syrup occasionally to prevent the sugar from burning.
