This time of year I want pumpkin spice everything. One of my favorites is a herbal, good for you, anti inflammatory, Herbal Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe. This deliciousness is not easy to find, especially in our small area, so I scoured the internet for a couple of recipe that might deliver the same great taste at home, and made some changes to make it herbal. After a few misses, and some experimenting. The best part about this Herbal Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe is that it’s the topping with all the pumpkin spice flavor, so it can be poured over a variety of hot beverages. So, make it a healthy caffeine-free herbal blend, or get make it with Yerba Mate for the caffeine punch.
