Christmas came just in time this year with this creamy and, oh, so delicious homemade vegan gingerbread latte.
Make This Season Jolly with Vegan Gingerbread Latte
The holiday season rolls around and I inevitably find myself switching from my favorite pumpkin spice latte to this homemade gingerbread latte. I don’t know which drink I like more. Both beverages are soul-warming, delicious, and just a nice treat to have in the morning. Despite my slight obsession with both of these lattes, I can’t deny the fact that the pumpkin spice latte reminds me of fall.
My gingerbread latte, on the other hand, smells like Christmas in a cup. It also tastes so divine and flavorsome that I want to have one cup of this holiday drink after another. And since we are just a week away from Christmas, I incline to make my vegan gingerbread latte more often.
How to Make Vegan Gingerbread Latte at Home
Vegan gingerbread latte just the way you want it from the convenience of your own kitchen in just a few minutes? Count me in. While I hardly ever set my foot on Starbuck’s floor to get any specialty coffee drinks, I get fancy making them at home from time to time. Christmas certainly awakens Julia Child in me and inspires me for a little creation of another version of this vegan gingerbread latte.
It takes just a few ingredients and ten minutes of your time. Top everything with a pinch of this warming spice, a teaspoon of another, hefty amount of love to this holiday season, and voila, your gingerbread latte is ready to enjoy. It is a specialty drink to keep your warm and jolly all holiday season long. On second thought, you can drink your homemade plant-based gingerbread latte all year round.
