Autumn Drinks

The weather has been exceptionally crappy the past couple of weeks. I'm ok with it being cooler, but it rains almost every day. So everything is damp and it feels extra cold. My hot drinks intake has increased because of this.

I recently stocked up on hot chocolate and chai latte mix at The Bulk Barn here. It's my favourite thing to do before Winter hits because it's so much cheaper and they always have different flavours, like salted caramel hot chocolate or mint hot chocolate. So it's fun buying as much as I want of each of the flavours.

For the longest time now, I've always made my own 'mocha' using powder hot chocolate and instant coffee. I think it helped ease me into coffee since it was sweeter. It's still a treat I make myself every once in a while. Adding marshmallows sometimes happens too...


My other hot drink treat has been Pumpkin Spice Brulee tea with french vanilla creamer. I cannot take credit for coming up with this combo on my own. Valerie gave me the idea a little while back on twitter and I've been drinking it ever since. 


It's great because you can control the sweetness of this drink. I'm all for Pumpkin Spice Lattes but they can be unbelievably sweet which I'm not always looking for. Plus they cost $4 a pop. This is a healthier and less sugary pumpkin treat. I highly recommend Teavana's Pumpkin Spice Brulee tea!  

What do you like to drink during the cold weather months?

It's that time of the year...

Lately I've been craving a peppermint mocha. It's probably because I heard that Starbucks was coming out with their holiday cups and drinks this week. I might have to go on a little adventure this weekend to find a holiday-themed drink from a local coffee shop since we don't have a Starbucks here.

How cute would it be to have a hot chocolate set up like this at a winter get together? I love it and may have to steal this idea!

I hope everyone is having a good night. Work has been incredibly busy this week so my evenings have been spent sitting on my butt watching Gilmore Girls.

Night!
