Crockpot Gingerbread Latte with Caramel

There are few things in life better than dumping a bunch of ingredients into a pot and coming back hours later for a meal. While meals are the slow cooker’s specialty, there are other things you can make in your crockpot, like drinks. The winter season is perfect for hot drinks, like this crockpot gingerbread latte with caramel.

Wake up in the morning to something better than your average cup of coffee, or curl up with a book and a glass of crockpot gingerbread latte with caramel. Aside from boozy holiday cocktails, lattes seem to be the drink of the holiday season, and for good reason.

Lattes can take on all the yummy holiday flavors, tend to be sweet, and can warm you up the instant you grab that hot mug. Slow cookers are the perfect way to make lattes because you can add all of the ingredients to the pot, set it, and come back when it’s time to enjoy the drink.

That means you can set the crockpot, wrap some gifts, do some shopping, or even get some sleep. The drink will be ready for you when you are. The perfect winter drink to get started with is the crockpot gingerbread latte with caramel.
