Autumn! We all crave summer in the winter, but in the summer, we crave autumn. Why? Well, where do I start? It’s the sunny warm fall days that don’t quite send a chill down your spine, but allow you to wear your new leather knee-high boots. It’s the fresh fall breeze that you breathe in as you step out the door to work with a hot drink in your hand. And it’s that evening at home when you’re sipping your hot drink under a blanket with an apple cider scented candle burning on your coffee table while you read a good book. What’s one thing that really defines Fall? The hot drinks! This Autumn, mix up your hot drinks and skip the Starbucks line with making your own home made drinks that are just so deliciously perfect.
