I realize they want to show that they use real ginger & all (starbucks) but really, when I'm drinking coffee I don't expect a dozen or so pea-sized chunks of ginger to be in the bottom of it.  I don't like chewing my coffee, tyvm.  blech.

I didn't like it, either.

Oh no, this breaks my heart. The gingerBREAD lattes are my all time fav. I was nervous when I saw the change in name.

I found this recipe for gingerbread latte:

Gingerbread Syrup:
2 cups water
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup fresh espresso
8 ounces milk, steamed (with a little foam)

Garnish:
whipped cream
ground nutmeg

Recipe:

1. Make the gingerbread syrup by combining water, sugar, ginger, cinnamon and vanilla in a medium saucepan. Be sure the pan is not too small or the mixture could easily bubble over.
2. Bring mixture to a boil then reduce heat and simmer syrup, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Remove the syrup from the heat when it's done and slap a lid on it.
3. Make a double shot of espresso (1/2 cup), using an espresso machine. Use the machine to steam 8 ounces of milk, or heat up the milk in themicrowave if your machine does not foam and steam milk.
4. Make your latte by first adding 1/2 cup espresso to a 16-ounce cup. Add 1/4 cup gingerbread syrup, followed by the steamed milk. Stir.
**Note: I read somewhere else from an alleged starbucks barrista that the order the ingredients should be mixed is as follows:
-Syrup
-Espresso
-Steamed milk
5. Top off the drink with a dollop of whipped cream, and a sprinkle of nutmeg.

It's really easy to avoid....just askt them not to put the topping on.  The latte itself is good, IMO.

was it good other than the chunks
