You’ll never believe me, but even though I’m Italian and Italians only drink espresso, I fell in love with the warm, creamy and spicy PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE I had at Starbucks. It was the only coffee I could drink when I lived in London!
So, as we don’t have Starbucks here neither we have pumpkin spice pie, I decided to make my own Italian style VEGAN soy-free Healthy PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE.
We call it “latte macchiato” wich is basically milk froth plus one shot espresso. To this, I simply added my low calories homemade pumpkin spice syrup made with pumpkin puree, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg.
A delicious and traditional comfort food ( or drink) that will bring warmth and flavor back into autumn.
Simply this healthy pumpkin spice latte with coconut whipped cream or sprinkle with cinnamon for a more wintery decadent treat.
