Throw in some warm spices, and you've got yourself a fall drink that beats anything from the store.

Ingredients for The Ultimate Fall Spice Latte
BROWN SUGAR SYRUP:
- Brown sugar. I use organic to make sure it’s vegan.
- Vanilla extract. Use pure vanilla extract for the best vanilla flavor.
- Water. For boiling and creating of the syrup.
LATTE:
- Coffee. Freshly brewed coffee or cold brew
- Brown sugar syrup. For the sweetness!
- Almond milk. Make your own! Or use store-bought Almond milk. You can also use other plant-based milk options.
- Fall spice blend. For a nice rich Fall spice flavor. Simply mix together ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, coriander, and ground cloves.
TOPPING:
- Coconut whipped cream. For a nice smoothness after every sip, I like to top with coconut whipped cream. Make your own or use a store-bought version like So Delicious Dairy-Free.
- Pinch of ground cinnamon. For topping!
How To Make A Homemade Fall Spice Blend
In a bowl, whisk together the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, coriander, and ground cloves until combined. Voila!
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground allspice

Can I Use Other Types of Milk?
Absolutely! If you’d like to switch things up with the type of plant-based milk that you use—–that’s totally fine! The world of plant-based milk is constantly expanding. From the classics like coconut milk, cashew milk, soy milk and almond milk, we now have delicious options like oat milk, and even potato and quinoa milk.
Can I Serve this Hot or Cold?
Yes! You can definitely switch things up by serving this Fall Spice Latte hot or cold whenever you chose to. To serve cold, simply make the brown sugar syrup and let it cool completely.
Then add crushed ice in a glass followed by the Almond milk, coffee, brown sugar syrup, and spices, stirring it all together until combined. Top with coconut whipped cream and a few pinches of cinnamon (or Fall spices) and that's it!
Can I Make This Fall Latte Without Caffeine?
Definitely! You can easily make this Fall Latte without caffeine by using decaf coffee or decaf espresso. Simply swap out the regular coffee for decaf, and you’ll still get all the cozy, spiced goodness without the caffeine kick.
Fall Spice Latte Q + A's
It's absolutely up to you! You can use chilled cold brew or espresso coffee or actual freshly brewed coffee.
As mentioned before, this latte is so creamy and velvety. To create even more creaminess, you can always use a coffee creamer instead of a plant-based milk. Also, you can stir in your whipped cream topping into the latte for a bit more smoothness. Either way, this latte is SO Delish!
Definitely. For added pizzazz, feel free to added frothed milk to the top of your latte instead of CocoWhip or you can drink it without a topping. The possibilities are endless. Making your own coconut whipped cream is super easy as well. You'll need an electric stand-mixer and a few ingredients: full-fat coconut milk/cream (refrigerated overnight) and vanilla extract.
Yup. While I enjoy the slow and true cooking method of using my stovetop, you can make this latte within your blender. Some high-tech blenders like the Vitamix has a heating mode which allows you to blend and warm at the same time, which is one way to do it. Of course, if you’re like me, then using your stovetop is just as easy.
It’s perfectly sweet with the brown sugar syrup, but you can easily adjust the sweetness to your liking. You can also use a different sweetener if you prefer—maple syrup, agave, or coconut sugar are all great alternatives.

Way too overpowering. It was like licking the spices. Even in a cake this would have been a bit much. Also very complicated. This recipe has the potential to be quite simple. Not worth trying. Waste of ingredients.
Hi Claudia! Thanks so much for your feedback! I'm SO sorry to hear that it didn't turn out how you expected! I always recommend those trying my recipes to adjust spices according to their taste buds. I do hope that you give another recipe a try! 🙂
