Dunkin' Donuts introduces gingerbread latte

Just for the holiday season Dunkin' Donuts is introducing Gingerbread Latte (not that they might have gotten the idea from another coffee shop), a new drink in their espresso based line up. I'm not one of those folks who usually like the fancy coffee drinks. I had my fill when I lived in Seattle during grad school. There was an espresso cart on every street corner and a cafe on every block. I started to get pretty damn jittery as I tried all the flavor combinations and finally had the shivers and shakes so bad I had to go cold turkey. Nowadays I like my coffee in small doses. An occasional espresso after a meal or a thick and cardamom laced Turkish style coffee. Although that Gingerbread Latte does sound pretty tasty , what with those ginger, spice, and caramel flavors in addition to espresso. Of course if you don't feel like running out to Dunkin' for your gingerbread latte fix, or get pining for one after the holiday season is over, you can follow this recipe and make it at home.

like Dunkin Donuts is giving Starbucks a run for their
money.

The really good news -- for those of us who live in Arizona, where it's in the 80s -- is that That Other National Coffee Chain can mix a gingerbread frappucino (and also an eggnog frappucino).

Just my opinion (and obviously not shared by all as the previous comment shows.) Gingerbread though? Not my cup of... joe!
