'Tis the season for all the hot and cozy drinks! This is my favorite time of year to cozy up with a yummy warm drink - whether shared or alone. When I think back to some of my fondest moments with friends, it is quite often that it was shared over a hot cup of coffee or tea. I love that the simple act can bring people together and that with a few easy ingredients I can even create these moments at home.
Even in my current season of life - home bound with a little one in a new town - having a warm drink to savor come nap time or at the end of the day is such a treat for my taste buds as well as my spirit. There is a calmness and pampering with each sip.
I have always been a make your own drink at home kind of girl. I love having new and festive combinations to serve to guests as well as just for myself. So whether you are serving a crowd or just need a little midweek pick me up, I have three delicious s'mores inspired recipes to share today!
All the recipes are made with Torani Sugar Free S'mores Syrup which makes them simple, easy, and delicious! #AToraniHoliday
Smores Latte
Nothing seems fancier than pouring frothed milk over your coffee! Taking the time to steam or froth milk is definitely worth it for that coffee shop luxury!
Ingredients:
1 cup of coffee
2 tablespoons Torani Sugar Free S'mores Syrup
1/2 cup of milk (more or less depending on the ratio of coffee to milk you like)
Make your coffee and pour in a cup. Combine milk and Torani Sugar Free S'mores Syrup in a separate cup. Heat milk in the microwave for 30-60 seconds. Use a frother to froth milk (or steamer if you have one). Pour frothed milk over coffee.
Smores Hot Chocolate
We love a good cup of hot cocoa around here! For this recipe you can use any type of hot chocolate. This concoction is definitely a sweet one but if you love hot chocolate like we do, this will not dissapoint!
Ingredients:
1 cup/serving of hot chocolate (packet, instant coffee machine, etc)
2 tablespoons Torani Sugar Free S'mores Syrup
Whipped Cream
Graham Cracker and Chocolate for garnish
Make your hot chocolate in a cup. Pour in Torani Sugar Free S'mores Syrup. Top with whipped cream. And if you are feeling really fancy include a piece of graham cracker and chocolate! Yum!
S'mores Steamed Milk
Of all the drinks this one is probably my favorite. It is so simple yet so delicious and such a nice treat at the end of the day with a cookie to dunk into! If you haven't had steamed milk before, I encourage you to give it a try! It's a great wind down at the end of the day treat that will make you all warm and cozy inside.
Ingredients:
1 cup of milk
1 tablespoon Torani Sugar Free S'mores Syrup
Pour milk and Torani Sugar Free S'mores Syrup into a cup. Microwave for 60-90 seconds. Use a frother to froth milk (or steamer if you have one).
// And in case you choose to stock up on a few Torani Syrups soon, I recommend Sugar Free Vanilla, Black Cherry, and Coconut. These are my all time favorites. When in need of a cold drink I will add these to diet sodas or sparkling water. I also am known to put a dash in my protein shakes! Yum!
