The residents decided to use ginger to spice things up at Caddington with their frothy gingerbread lattes.
And on a cold autumnal day, what better way could there be to warm everyone up – especially when it’s been so wet outside?
The latte drink, which is almost a meal in itself, is great for boosting energy, and the gingerbread recipe certainly energised everyone who ended up baking fantastic gingerbread biscuits too.
Regional Community Relations Lead Val Foley said: “We thought we would try the gingerbread latte as it feels so seasonal, and there are so many coffee lovers here at Caddington Grove.
“It was perfect, and in fact, we enjoyed making the lattes so much that residents were inspired to bake gingerbread biscuits to have with the drinks.”
The residents made the lattes using steamed milk, sweet molasses, vanilla, ginger, cinnamon, and a couple of shots of espresso.
Val added: “The lattes were amazing, especially with a dollop of whipped cream accompanied by the biscuits.”
