Nescafe Cafe Menu / Gold Gingerbread Latte

It's winter so the Gingerbread Latte makes a welcome return! This time under the Gold range. I've not kept a note of the ingredients, so I don't know if the recipe has changed, but I do know that I really like this creamy instant. It's sweet, it's fun, and it has a warming hint of gingerbread. As these days I only drink instant coffee (the caffeine in real coffee was having a negative impact on my health so I've given it up), and as I dislike instant coffee, these creamy instants are all I drink* as they make absolutely no attempt at pretending to be real coffee. This is one of the most fun of the creamy instants. If you like instant coffee and/or milky espressos like cappuccino and latte, then try this. It's great fun.

* I do, of course, drink tea and  beer and wine and.....

It's the Christmas season, so the Gingerbread Latte is back. Yum yum. Not really a coffee, more of a sweet milky drink, but it's pleasant enough and great fun.

An instant coffee by Nescafe. There are a number of these instant latte/cappuccino/mocha drinks. They all tend to come in individually wrapped servings inside a box, and are instant coffee powder with sugar,  dried milk or vegetable fat and other ingredients. There's very little coffee flavour, but they are fun. This is a limited edition Christmas special with some supposed gingerbread flavourings.

Due to the sugar and the milk powder, this makes an attractive, easy drinking warm beverage. It's the best of the creamy instants I've tried so far, and at over £3, the most expensive.
