 | Salted Caramel pls? :) I'm waiting till it hits the chillier days and peppermint mocha will be my regular. |
 | Gingerbread Latte is next on our hit list! Great minds obviously think alike, Hot Cuppa! ;) |
 | Wow, I feel like you're reading my mind. I LOVE these holiday flavours from the cafes, but they can get pricey. Your DIY recipes are so timely!! By the way, another favorite flavour is the Gingerbread Latte that Starbucks and Second Cup introduce about this time every year. Do you have a recipe idea for that, by any chance? |
 | This was so yummy to drink on a fall night- I made mine without espresso so it was more of a hot peppermint chocolate drink and it was DELICIOUS! Just be careful not to add too much peppermint- that extract is strong! |
