I found this recipe last year during the holidays and my mom and I loved it. I fell in love with Starbucks' gingerbread latte and this is a wonderful fix for that (the taste is pretty close!). We made the syrup up and kept it in the fridge and enjoyed it several times. We pulled it out on Christmas for family who came over and it made a special treat.

Really good but my husband and I weren't tasting a lot of gingerbread flavor. Maybe our coffee was too strong, or we will have to use more mix next time. We were bad and used real whipping cream in place of the 1/2 & 1/2 and omitted the whipped cream. All in all it was really tasty and great for the holidays.

Good but really sweet! I didn't have any coffee so I added some of the sauce to hot cocoa and that was very good. I can see this sauce tasting good on everything from coffee to ice-cream to cakes.

This was very good. I only used about a teaspoonful of the stuff in a cup of coffee and the tablespoon was too much. I also didn't have whipped cream, but, oh well. I'll bet a little Bailey's or Kalua would kick this up a step! Thanks for the recipe Jennifer!

This was really good but really rich! It's enough to knock you over...or at least fill you up so you don't want you next meal. I left out the whipped cream, and it was good enough without it.

Good! I didn't add the whipped cream but I am sure it would add to the richness of the overall product.

This recipe is great!!! I wait all year long for Starbuck's Gingerbread latte, but after trying this on the weekend, I am going to be making my own all year long I think! I even made some for my morning commute to work today! I love it!!!

I thought this was really great. I had to use vanilla Cool Whip, because it is all that I had, and it worked fine. I did not think it was grainy as some others had stated, but my coffee was really hot, so maybe that helped.

Ok...but not as good as I thought it might be. The spices made the drink a bit granulary. And I put in much less mix in the drink. Best to have at room tempeture when adding or it takes a long time to dissolve. Decent, but not great.

I can only drink coffee if it is flavored with something. I think this recipe has really good flavor, but it was a little too sweet and too rich, I could not drink the entire cup. I will try it again with a few adjustments.

this is a very good recipe. I think the flavors are just right, however don't skimp on the half n half or the whipped cream. They really bring it all together. Drink it when it's raining outside!

Better than the gingerbread lattes I've had at the local coffee shops, and much, much more affordable - I've already shared this with my pottery class and my sister-in-law. It's a hit - thanks!!
