Vegan Gingerbread Latte Recipe - Vegan Richa (1)

These cold months, all those cheery songs, a fireplace, and all it needs is a big mug of gingerbread latte!

This latte is super quick to put together and needs just 5 Ingredients! Simmer some coffee with fresh ginger, dark brown sugar or molasses + sweetener of choice, gingerbread spice (that I make from scratch). Once the flavors have melded, add frothed nondairy milk and heat up. Strain and done!

Omit the coffee for a caffeine free latte. Just some warming fresh ginger, gingerbread spice, and molasses!

As with all spiced drinks, the spices can sometimes settle and the bottom or feel gritty in a drink. This happens because the spices are not ground finely enough by most ground spice brands, especially spices like cinnamon. Strain to remove the larger spice granule grittyness.

    I used this recipe to make a delicious caffeine free chai latte, as I didn’t have ground ginger or molasses but had chai masala. Loved this as my previous efforts to make caffeine free chai hadn’t turned out so well. This was so comforting as I’m sick. Thanks Richa! I will have to try the original gingerbread version too.

    I absolutely love this latte. I’ve made it countless times already. Easy to make plus scrumptious. I don’t even care if it’s seasonal, I don’t mind having this year round. Thank you for another amazing recipe.
