Hey everyone, hope your week is going as well as mine. First off, FALL IS HERE!!! I used to hate fall when I lived in Chicago because that only meant that winter was just around the corner. Now that I live in the South, I welcome fall with open arms. I absolutely love warm weather but a brisk fall night where I can just wear a hoodie and sit around a bonfire sounds pretty heavenly to me right about now.
Seriously..what's better than hoodie weather, bonfires and FOOTBALL!? That's what I thought..not much...
Fall weather is also very exciting to me because I play soccer on Thursday nights (Remember how we WON the league last season?). Since I'm not in the cardio shape I used to be in high-school, anything sub 90 degrees outside is where it's at. Those are the days I feel like I'm not dying a slow death on the soccer field.
Now that it's getting cooler, I wanted to list a few of my favorite fall drinks (No, I'm not going to be a total "basic" girl here and list everything pumpkin spice flavored..don't worry).
The Best Fall Drinks
White Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Latte [Recipe by Delightfulemade]
Okay so I lied…I had to throw in something pumpkin spice..
- 2 c. milk
- 1 c. strong, brewed coffee
- ½ c. white chocolate chips
- 2 Tbsp. canned, pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- pinch salt
- ½ tsp. vanilla
- For Topping:
- Whipped Cream
- Additional white chocolate chips & sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
In a medium saucepan heat all ingredients (except vanilla) over medium heat, whisking continually. White chocolate chips will begin to melt. Continue whisking until liquid begins to steam, and froth appears on top. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. While still steaming, ladle into cups or mugs. Top with whipped cream, and a sprinkling of white chocolate chips and a dusting of pumpkin pie spice. Enjoy right away while hot
