GUEST POST: Caramel apple spice by In Katrina’s Kitchen
Hello! I’m Katrina from In Katrina’s Kitchen and I’m so happy to be sharing this recipe with you today. Dessert is always served first over at my blog and this drink certainly counts as dessert! It’s sweet and delicious and the perfect start to Fall.
What I like most about hot apple drinks is that everyone loves them. Even if you’re not a coffee drinker or a tea enthusiast you will probably still enjoy sipping on a cup of this Caramel Apple Spice. I would say that this drink is a pretty close copycat to the famous Starbucks indulgence too! Make it for yourself or imress your friends with your barista skills.
