    Spiced drinks are perfect for fall and winter

    This recipe is perfect for fall and the upcoming holidays. This is a delicious coffee recipe to enjoy around Christmas, sitting by a cozy fire with family members.

    This was inspired by my Pear And Apple Sangria cocktail recipe on this site, and pairs well with these delicious one-bowl Pumpkin Pie Blondies.

    🥘 Ingredients

    All you’ll need for my decadent, but simple Spiced Apple Cider Lattes are strong coffee, or good espresso, fresh apple juice, pumpkin spice, nutmeg, milk, honey, and some homemade whipped cream. You can garnish the spiced apple cider latte with star anise, homemade whipped cream, and nutmeg.

    • A quality espresso like this one or a good dark roast coffee
    • Apple Juice
    • Whole Milk or creamer of choice
    • Honey
    • Pumpkin Spice
    • Nutmeg
    • Star Anise
    • Whipped Cream for topping 

    See recipe card for quantities.

    🔪 Instructions

    • Heat up the apple juice, honey, and pumpkin spice on the stovetop for a few minutes until warm. Do this while your fresh coffee is brewing.
    • Next, pour the coffee or espresso shots into mugs, and add the warmed apple juice, and some frothy milk. Top with whipped cream, star anise, and nutmeg. That’s it!

    💭 My Top Tips

    Use a strong-quality espresso. Check out my favorites linked below.

    • This is a beautiful assortment of dark roast and light coffees to choose from and makes a wonderful gift for your coffee-addict friend!
    • Check out this lovely espresso set that also makes a great gift!
    • Make sure you use a good-quality dark roast coffee for this recipe to really compliment the apple notes in this recipe. A lighter blonde roast would be good too, but keep in mind that the lighter the roast, the higher the caffeine content. Most people get that confused, but lighter roasts contain more caffeine and darker roasts contain less caffeine and pack much more flavor.

    ☕  Bring the coffeeshop home

    A spiced apple cider latte is the drink for the colder winter months. Not only does it have apple cider in it, but it also has espresso, homemade whipped cream, nutmeg, and cinnamon. This is the drink you want to be drinking all winter long.

    This drink is similar to that apple cider drink you can get at Starbucks, but this one you’ll make right at home.

    spicy apple coffee that tastes delicious

    I love comfort food and warm drinks in the wintertime and I know you do too. Tis' the season for all the comfy cozy drinks so why not combine espresso with apple cider and take that apple cider to the next level?

    One of my favorite winter spices is Star Anise and I include it in a lot of my winter drink concoctions. I garnish my spiced apple cider lattes with homemade vanilla whipped cream and star anise.

    Not only does the star anise make it look super festive for Christmas, but it also gives the lattes a delicious cozy flavor.

    No need to go to the coffee shop, you can make a spiced apple cider latte right in the comfort of your own home. This recipe couldn’t be easier and I’ve included two ways for you to make it, just in case you don’t have an espresso machine at your fingertips.

    You can use a strong high-quality coffee and add everything to the coffee or you can pull two espresso shots. Easy peasy and super delicious.
