        In a large, cozy mug, mix the freshly brewed coffee with the gingerbread syrup, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and nutmeg. Stir thoroughly to ensure all the spices and syrup are well blended.

          Carefully pour the frothed milk into the coffee-spice mixture, using a spoon to hold back the foam until the end. You want that lovely layer of froth on top!

            If you're in the mood for a little extra indulgence, add a dollop of whipped cream on top of your latte. Then, finish it off with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or crunchy crushed graham crackers for that perfect finishing touch.
