    Cold days are for cozying up to a hot drink. This sweet rich vegan Spiced Mocha Latte fits the bill.

    Spices add an extra layer of warm comfort. A version of this recipe without the coffee is my Vegan Spiced Hot Cocoa recipe.

    For a spiced drink without chocolate, try my Vegan Spiced Almond Milk recipe.

    Another spiced drink is my Cinnamon Almond Milk. It has most of the same spices as this latte.

    **Important! If you are gluten free you may want to avoid coffee altogether. I personally have never had a problem drinking it, and I have a gluten intolerance. It is probably because I drink whole bean organic coffee, and grind it myself. I learned that it can be problematic for people who don't tolerate gluten. So I did some research and one article mentioned to try organic whole bean coffee because it isn't highly processed causing cross-reactivity issues. So please do the research yourself, and test it out. I try to only post recipes that are 100% gluten free since I have a gluten intolerance. I am really careful about avoiding gluten in my daily life.
