Yum yum yum 😋 is what comes to mind whenever I hear pumpkin spice latte. However, I don’t drink coffee anymore and will sometimes have herbal coffee substitute. This is a quick yummy fall pumpkin spice recipe that is absolutely delicious and guilt free. Try it out and let me know what you think. Even if you have just a few of these ingredients you can still have a delicious drink.
