]]>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.

]]>Witches Brew
Witches Brew cocktails are everywhere come Halloween, though there’s actually no standard recipe for what the drink needs to include. This version by A Couple Cooks is made with Midori, a type of Japanese liquor made from Yubari and Muskmelons. Stirred with some Triple Sec and a splash of lemon, its ghoulish green color looks just like something out of a witch’s cauldron.
Jack Skellington’s Haunted White Russian
There’s nothing scary about a plain old White Russian—at least, not until Tieghan from Half Baked Harvest put her spooky spin on the drink. Traditionally made with vodka, coffee liquor, and a splash of cream, Tieghan’s version contains spiced brown sugar syrup and a shot of espresso for an additional kick.
Vampire Vodka Cranberry
No Halloween party would be complete without a bit of fake blood, and what better way to add some gore to your decor than by using it as a garnish for your cocktails? Served with a simple vodka cranberry dyed black, this recipe by Boulder Locavore is a surefire way to scare the pants off your guests.

]]>Pumpkin Spice Latte
It’s back and, well, not better than ever, but it’s as good as we remember, and we’re very excited. The OG fall beverage, the PSL turns 20 years old this year, and we plan to celebrate by sipping on these bad boys all season long. Espresso, pumpkin syrup, and a sprinkle of cinnamon—what’s not to love?
(@starbucks)Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso
Try saying that one five times fast. The name may be difficult to pronounce, but Starbucks’ newest apple-flavored beverage is anything but difficult to enjoy. An update on the Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato, the new version is made with less milk than its predecessor, making it a great choice for those who prefer autumnal coffee drinks that actually taste like coffee.
Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte
If coffee isn’t your jam, you’ll be psyched to discover that Starbucks has finally included a tea-based beverage in its official fall lineup. The brand’s signature chai concentrate pairs perfectly with pumpkin cold foam cream and a dusting of pumpkin pie spice for an indulgent beverage brimming with fall flavors.

]]>Cinnamon
Cinnamon is a great addition to almost every dessert, so it’s a perfect way to flavor your whipped cream. It’s also a great base for other whipped cream spice mixes such as chai spice or pumpkin spice which are yummy on pie, spiced cake, or especially on drinks!
Chocolate
Chocolate seems almost obvious, but it’s not that common to make chocolate whipped cream! All you need is a bit of cocoa powder and a little extra sweetener to make your whipped cream even richer and a perfect companion to any dessert.
Salt and Vanilla
A small pinch of salt and a splash of vanilla will make for whipped cream with a more flavorful sweetness which will both add to and enhance the flavors of your dessert. Vanilla and salt are both known for their ability to strengthen flavors that already exist in a dish, so the whipped cream will help do just that.

]]>Watermelon Mint Lemonade
Fresh and juicy watermelon provides a delicious complement to the tanginess of lemon juice in this 6-ingredient lemonade recipe by Farm Flavor. Sweetened with a homemade mint simple syrup, it has a unique and refreshing flavor that makes it a perfect summer treat. Top it with more mint and some lemon slices for a pop of color.
Fresh Peach Lemonade
Peaches are underrated as far as summer fruit goes, and we’re prepared to die on this hill. Think about it—how many other fruits are sweet, tangy, and juicy all at the same time? One of our go-to ways to enjoy peaches is with lemonade, especially this recipe by Pink Owl Kitchen. It’s sweetened with fresh peach brown sugar syrup, though we love to add some extra peach slices for garnish.
Cherry Rosemary Lemonade
We can’t honestly say it would have ever occurred to us to make lemonade with fresh cherries and rosemary on our own, but one sip of this recipe by Vegan Candyland, and we were hooked. Dark cherries balance the tartness of the lemons with a kind of rich sweetness, while a sprig of fresh rosemary spices things up. It’s like pink lemonade, all grown up.

]]>The post Upgrade Your Matcha Routine With These Fun Variations appeared first on foodisinthehouse.com.
]]>Similar to other teas, it’s traditionally prepared with hot water and served with some steamed milk and a bit of sweetener. Unlike other teas, however, matcha is made with the entire tea leaf, and, as a result, has a thicker, frothier texture that makes it an ideal addition to a wide variety of drinks and desserts. If you love matcha as much as we do, read on for some fun ways to change up your matcha routine.
Coconut Water
We have to credit Remy Park, recipe developer, and matcha aficionado behind the popular food blog Veggiekins, for this idea. Remy’s Japanese heritage combined with her love for all things pink and green inspired her to prepare her matcha over a glass of Harmless Harvest pink coconut water, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing drink that tastes as good as it looks. If you don’t have access to this particular brand, you can still make your own by pouring a shot of matcha over any regular coconut water and some ice.
Lemonade
If you like Starbucks Green Tea Lemonade, know that you can easily make your own, but better, with just a few simple ingredients. Swap traditional green tea for ceremonial-grade matcha and store-bought lemonade for fresh lemon juice, sparkling water, and a splash of maple syrup. Add a slice of lemon and some fresh mint for an extra refreshing kick.
Affogato
Affogato is an Italian coffee-based dessert consisting of a shot of espresso poured over a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The word literally translates to “drowned,” and the idea behind the dessert is that the bitterness of the coffee and the sweetness of the ice cream will balance each other out. Matcha, like coffee, tends to have an earthy, slightly bitter flavor that pairs beautifully with vanilla or even chocolate ice cream.

]]>The post The Fascinating (and Divided) Origin Story of Iced Tea appeared first on foodisinthehouse.com.
]]>One Opinion
Some say that iced tea was first introduced at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, where a tea merchant named Richard Blechynden was trying to promote his product in the scorching heat. When he couldn’t get anyone to try his hot tea, he decided to add ice to it, and voila—iced tea was born!
Another Opinion
Others believe that the origin of iced tea dates back even further, to the 1800s when it was a popular drink in the American South. Back then, iced tea was often served with lemon and sugar, and was considered a luxurious and refreshing treat.
An Instant Classic
No matter where it came from, there’s no denying that iced tea has become a beloved beverage around the world. Today, there are countless variations on the classic iced tea recipe, from sweet tea in the South to fruit-infused teas in Asia. So next time you’re sipping on a cool glass of iced tea, take a moment to appreciate the rich history and tradition that goes into every sip.
