Step-by-Step Iced Gingerbread Latte Instructions

1. Prepare Cold Brew Coffee:

   • Brew cold brew coffee in advance. To do this, combine coarsely ground coffee with cold water in a jar or pitcher (1:4 ratio, e.g., 1 cup coffee grounds to 4 cups water).
   • Let it steep in the fridge for 12-24 hours. After steeping, strain the mixture using a fine mesh strainer or coffee filter. Store the cold brew in the refrigerator.

2. Measure Ingredients:

   • Gather all your ingredients. Measure out 1 cup of cold brew coffee and ½ cup of unsweetened almond milk. Also, measure out the spices, sweetener, and vanilla extract.

3. Mix the Gingerbread Spices:

   • In a small bowl, combine the ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves. Mix well to create a gingerbread spice blend.

4. Combine Ingredients:

   • In a blender or a large glass, pour in the cold brew coffee and almond milk.
   • Add ⅓ of the gingerbread spice mix (reserve some for garnish if desired).
   • Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of maple syrup or honey (adjust to your taste).
   • Add ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract.

5. Stir or Blend:

   • If using a blender, blend on medium speed for about 10-15 seconds until well combined. If mixing by hand, use a whisk or spoon to thoroughly combine all ingredients until smooth.

6. Prepare Serving Glass:

   • Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. You can fill the glass halfway with ice or as desired based on how cold you want the drink.

7. Pour and Serve:

   • Carefully pour the blended or stirred latte mixture over the ice-filled glass.
   • If desired, sprinkle a little reserved gingerbread spice on top for garnish.

8. Optional Toppings:

   • If you want an extra indulgent touch, add a dollop of whipped coconut cream on top. You can also sprinkle a little extra cinnamon or ginger for added flavor.

9. Enjoy:

   • Stir gently before drinking and enjoy your delicious and healthy Iced Gingerbread Latte!
