So easily we can get wrapped up in the holiday season and spend a fortune on our favorite simple pleasures. Why spend so much? Don’t spend a fortune on store-bought syrups this year when you can make them at home!

As the cooler weather approaches, nothing speaks of fall flavor more than the sweetest taste of this quick and easy DIY Homemade Gingerbread Coffee Syrup. The comfort of apple picking with the family while drinking a warm cup of coffee with this syrup just brings a smile to my face. 

I just love coffee! Shocker right?

Mocha Lisa’s Cafe (an amazing local coffee shop) is a HUGE weakness of mine that I am trying to avoid for the benefit of my waistline, and my wallet. I have also thought about purchasing those Torani Syrups, but those are not cheap either.

For these reasons, I decided I needed to make my own. It is a fall favorite, but it has now continued into the Christmas season. It is a great addition to my morning coffee.

This four-ingredient coffee syrup recipe can be used to flavor alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, cakes, or as an ice cream topping.

You had me at Gingerbread…..

Keep in mind that this Gingerbread Coffee Syrup is thicker than a traditional simple syrup, so this can be stored in a glass mason jar or some beautiful glass jars rather than a pour spout container.

The molasses combined with the brown sugar, ginger, and cinnamon make it a rich and decadent treat to add to your latte, coffee, or tea.

Big Bonus: This Gingerbread Syrup would make a fantastic gift to give to a friend or loved one. Place this syrup in a jar and tie it with a festive ribbon.

Get creative!

You can certainly do a themed warm beverage basket. Think about it. In the basket, you can add your syrup, coffee, and a shaker of festive sprinkles, along with this recipe. Super easy and a great way to start anyone’s day.

You can use ground spices for this recipe. Whole spice or fresh is always best and if you do use you will have to strain them out at the end with a fine mesh strainer.
