Seeing the words: Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte you instantly think of those craving campaigns from Starbucks thats on offer this time of year. A beautiful cup in autumn colors and a fluffy cinnamon powdered creamy top.
In the beginning I (Lisa) thought that it was pumpkin flavor on the latte but I later found out that it was not the case. In the United States they flavor their pumpkin recipes with a pumpkin spice mix. It usually consists of a large amount of cinnamon and smaller amounts of ginger, cloves and nutmeg (!).
The smooth good taste, thats what we crave. So I tried myself to make my own version of the hot beverage that are both vegan, naturally sweeted with dates, and kind to the immune system.
