This is an extremely simple and healthy alternative to the popular but expensive coffee shop pumpkin latte . The coffee shop latte is pricey for sure, but it also is generally full of artificial and unhealthy ingredients. Ok so here’s another big difference, this is made with tea and not espresso or coffee. For many years I drank coffee – and I still would – if I hadn’t found…
