Better than Coffee Shop Ginger Latte
I love making this ginger latte because, in just five minutes, my kitchen transforms into my favorite cozy cafe. Using a simple pot on the stove, I can create that deep, spicy-sweet flavor without any special machines or store-bought syrups. The best part is the incredible fragrance that wraps around my home while it brews—it’s pure comfort in a scent.
For me, this drink is a daily treat that feels good and does good. That kick of fresh ginger does more than just taste amazing; it settles my stomach and feels like a warm, healthy hug from the inside out. It’s my little ritual: enjoying a luxurious coffee moment while quietly knowing I’m giving my body a boost of goodness.

Pro Tip
Feel free to use any milk you love or have on hand. I typically reach for whole milk for its creaminess, but for a dairy free version, unsweetened almond or coconut milk are my go to favorites, they work beautifully.

FAQs
Nope! Just a rough chop of the ginger is all that's needed before throwing it in the pot to cook.
I find instant coffee works the best, but if you are making a pot of coffee, you could save a tiny bit on the side for your ginger latte. 1 ounce of black coffee is enough for this delicious treat.
Use pure honey or a sugar substitute in place of the brown sugar.
Garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or nutmeg.
