We’re so happy to finally be able to say that fall is officially here, and if you’re anything like us, you’ll be spending the next few months curled up under a blanket with a good book and a hot drink. While we love the classics like hot chocolate and cider, one of our favorite parts of fall is getting to experiment and try new recipes for seasonal drinks. Here are a few we’ve been loving so far.
Easy Warm Apple Chai Latte
Hot apple cider has never tasted better than it does in this recipe by Orchids + Sweet Tea. Prepared with plenty of warming spices, some vanilla almond milk, and a few bags of black tea, the best way to describe it is like a cozy sweater in a glass. For best results, skip the store-bought stuff and follow her simple instructions to make your cider from scratch using fresh gala apples.
Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate
We wouldn’t dream of making a fall-inspired list that didn’t include anything pumpkin flavored, and this year, our favorite recipe is by far this hot chocolate by Striped Spatula. It’s easy to whip up in less than 10 minutes and can be made using your choice of dark or white chocolate. For a grown-up treat, add a splash of bourbon or even dark rum.
Magical Vegan Butterbeer
Harry Potter is a classic series that we enjoy regardless of the season, but come fall, it’s even more fun to imagine ourselves at The Three Broomsticks enjoying a mug of hot Butterbeer with Harry and the gang. While we know that we can’t exactly jump on the Hogwarts Express and head to Hogsmeade, we can make our own Butterbeer to enjoy at home, and this recipe by Healthy Slow Cooking is a great way to do it. It’s got all of the magical flavor we love, 100% dairy-free.
