DIY: Caramel Apple Spice

Dear Friend,

The other day, we participated in a 5k Heart Walk  in Seattle. The walk was extremely fun and refreshing, but after being in the cold weather for quite some time, we were in great need of a Starbucks run. Once we arrived at Starbucks, we decided to go out on a limb and try something new. We each ordered a tall, Caramel Apple Spice...honestly, that was probably the best decision we made all week. The drink was amazing. 

So naturally, we decided to try and make it ourselves. You may have seen a recipe for this on trusty Pinterest, but if you haven't, here's how to make the lovely drink:

What you need:
-a cute mug
-a packet of Alpine apple cider mix
-a can of Reddi whip cream
-caramel sauce
-hot water

What to do:
First, pour the apple cider mix into the mug. Add hot water and stir. Then, add some of the caramel sauce to the drink itself (add as much as you like). After, simply add the whip cream to your drink and drizzle the caramel sauce on top. Voila!

Although the Starbucks label isn't on your drink, we hope you like this little DIY. We love the fall and this drink (along with Pumpkin Spice Lattes) makes it even more enjoyable. What's your favorite drink to have during the fall?

"In the entire circle of the year there are no days so delightful as those of a fine October, when the trees are bare to the mild heavens, and the red leaves bestrew the road, and you can feel the breath of winter, morning and evening...no days so calm, so tenderly solemn, and with such a reverent meekness in the air."

Yours truly,
Kylie and Catherine
