Pumpkin Spice Latte' from Starbucks!!!
But since i really don't go out to eat much at all - i only get those maybe a few times a year max. I also LOVE their Chai Latte's with a triple shot of espresso


I also LOVE my sister's homemade hot chocolate
She gives me a big baggie of it every year and then i add whipped cream and butterscotch topping to it
it's AWESOME!

My mom makes homemade Russian Spice Tea that's AMAZING!!! I have a whole jar of the mix in my cabinet!


I also love apple spice tea! I make it all the time! Any kind of coffee concoction i normally make at home to save money!
I dress them up all fancy too with whipped cream and different toppings!

Will she share the recipe? I love spice teas!



I love a good Chai Latte. I'm really going to have to try the Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks....everybody here seems to be liking it. I drink my hazelnut coffee with sugarfree hazelnut coffeemate creamer in it every morning.

Tea - we have lots of different kinds (but all have caffine in them). I get mainly the Bigelow teas and mix them up in my little Tea House so you get a different tea every time


Second fav is hot chocolate - made with milk and Nestles Quick! (and marshmellows)

Hot tea here! I buy it loose and really enjoy various Assams and Ceylons. I also like tea from the Yunnan region!

I will ask her!


until then though, this one sounds a little similar to her's but not the exact same if you want to try it. I believe she adds red hot candies to it for the kiddos!

I know she adds Tang (the orange powder drink), sugar, tea, ground cinnamon, ground cloves to it- but i believe she adds other stuff too! I'll ask the next time i talk to her!


here's the recipe link to the one that sounds a little like my mom's

I make a spice tea that's very similar to the link you posted. I got it from a friend of the family at least 35 years ago!

Coffee, hot and sweet is my daily fave, but I also like hot chocolate with real mini marshmallows and the occasional shot of Hot Damn Cinnamon Schnapps if it is really cold.

I'll drink rich milk chocolate hot chocolate (Archer Farms is the best) and hot apple cider. It has to be a mix of homemade and storebought, though - I'm really picky about my ciders. But when there's a good one...
you just can't beat it!

Edit: there's also this one "tea" I'll drink. However, it's really only in name since it consists of spices, unflavored iced tea, and orange Tang.
It's really, really good though!
