This fall, don’t go for the usual Tim Horton’s Iced Capp or overpriced Starbucks Frappuccino. Believe it or not, you can make a drink just like you see on Pinterest or Tumblr in just a few minutes with little ingredients. Spice up your drinks this fall with one of these great and easy recipes that will make all of your friends think you work at a coffee shop.
1.) Spiced Apple Cider
On a cold autumn day, a warm glass of apple cider is one of the best things. In order to achieve the spiced flavor, all that one will need are:
-Fresh Apple Cider
-Cinnamon Sticks
-Anise Pods
First, you should pour the apple cider into a pot and heat it until it begins to boil. Then put in a desired amount of cinnamon sticks and anise and let simmer. Let cool, and then pour a glass! You can even top it off with whipped cream.
2.) Pumpkin Milkshake
This cool treat can be a refreshing yet sweet treat to have. What you will need to make this is:
-Vanilla ice cream/Pumpkin ice cream(if you want more flavor)
-Milk
-Canned pumpkin
-Cinnamon
Make sure to blend the ice cream, a desired amount of milk based on the consistency you enjoy, a scoop of canned pumpkin and a dash of cinnamon. Blend and enjoy!
3.) Cinnamon Water
Okay, so this recipe is pretty straight forward all you need is:
-ice
-water
-cinnamon
Combine all ingredients and let sit.
4.) Pumpkin Hot Chocolate
This unique, tasty drink is actually a lot easier than you would think! The ingredients needed include:
-Pumpkin pie spice
-Honey
-Hot Chocolate mix
-Whipped Cream
-Cinnamon
First, make a hot chocolate like you normally would, and when it is hot add in a teaspoon of honey and scoop of desired pumpkin pie spice. Stir and let cool. After it is at a decent temperature, put on whipped cream and sprinkle some cinnamon on top.
5.) Golden Apple Punch
This is one of my favorite drinks that I make when fall is just beginning! It’s a cool drink to have as the weather is cooling off. What you will need is:
-Apple juice
-White grape juice
-Ginger Ale
-Lemonade
Combine all ingredients in the same amount in a pitcher or some type of container. Add ice and serve with a garnish of an apple!
Making drinks can be fun and easy if you follow these simple recipes! Whether you’re in your dorms or at home these can be done by a simple and cheap trip to Walmart!
