Fall is when the days get shorter, the nights get cooler, and evenings revolve around gorgeous sunsets and, in some cases, the new fall television show line up. It is the time when everything is a little bit better with a warm drink in hand. If you’re in the mood for chocolate, make a pot of Spicy Hot Chocolate. Cocoa powder gets a lift from cayenne pepper and an extra punch in flavor from coconut milk, making this drink the perfect mix of sugar and spice for a night parked on the couch.
When you need a pick-me-up packed with big flavor, and a regular cup of joe just won’t do, Café Tres Leches takes the delicious combination of condensed milk, evaporated milk and heavy cream from the cake we love, and deposits it in our coffee. For a lighter take, substitute coconut milk for heavy cream, and conjure the tropics in every sip.
When rest and calm is what you’re after, Panela Herbal Tea combines the subtle sweetness of panela and the calming effects of tea into a soothing drink fit for anytime of day, including bedtime. From mint to chamomile, you’ll be counting alpacas (forget the sheep!) in no time!
