One of my all time favourite flavours is pumpkin. It's nostalgic aroma brings back all those memories of Thanksgivings and Halloweens. Chicks, tell me now, is there anything better than curling up with a good book, magazine or DVD with a pumpkin spice latte?
I think the answer to that would be no. Being thrifty and a DIY adventurer, I set out to find a pumpkin spice latte recipe that could easily be done at home. Also- a pumpkin spice latte is the perfect excuse to cuddle with someone. What you'll need:2 1/4 cups milk2 1/2 tablespoons canned pumpkin2 tablespoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or more if you like the spice! Directions: In a saucepan combine milk, pumpkin and sugar and cook on medium heat, stirring, until steaming. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and spice.To froth up the mixture, you can transfer to a blender for 15 seconds or simply whisk the mixture at a fast pace until it becomes foamy. Pour into mug then pour espresso on top. Ducky Baby Shower Punch. Jello shots without the trash. Ingredients: Strawberries (the biggest ones you can find) Strawberry jelly powder Creme de cacao Vodka Chocolate chips (optional) Wash the strawberries and pick out the nicest ones.
You will need about 3 boxes worth of strawberries for 2 cups of jello. Cut off the bottoms so the strawberries can stand up but be careful to not make holes for the jello to leak out. For chocolate dipped strawberries, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave on low heat and then dip each strawberry in the melted chocolate. Mix 1 cup of boiling water and the jelly powder. Blog : Thirst Quench: Hydrating Drinks For Summertime. By Wendy Tremayne We recognize the summer by the longest days and shortest nights and by thunderstorms and hail. It is the season of the monsoon rains that flood gardens and bring autumn’s harvest.
It is also the season of the butterfly, bee and rattlesnake. For us humans, summer is the season that we need to work hardest to stay hydrated. When I think of summertime my memory conjures the image of giant beverages in throw-away containers: big gulps and mailbox-size vessels filled to the brim with unnaturally colored sweet liquids. Dehydrated people clutch these with hopes of hydration. But while sugar gives us some short-term energy, hydration is not to be found oozing from a soda fountain or in a landfill-destined bottle in the refrigerated section of the market. In-Season Fruit Punch Ingredients Directions Step 1: Combine all ingredients except the sweetener in a blender. Nature’s Own Herbal Iced Tea Blend Try these dried herbs mixed together in any combination instead of a black tea. Homemade Irish Cream Liqueur. Here is another really yummy treat, Homemade Irish Cream Liqueur!
I love it added to a cup of coffee! Irish Cream Liqueur from Bon Appetit 1 – 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk 1 cup Irish whiskey 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon instant coffee crystals 1 cup whipping cream 1 tablespoon canned sweetened cream of coconut (such as Coco Lopez Cream of Coconut ) My can was solid at the top, so I placed about 2 inches of water in a skillet and heated until the cream of coconut was liquid) Combine first 5 ingredients in blender; blend until coffee crystals dissolve, about 1 minute. You can pour chilled mixture over ice cubes, pour over chocolate or coffee ice cream too. I used 8oz tall skinny bottles from Germany (sorry). You could dress the bottles up even more with a hand painted bottle stopper! Don’t forget to check out other handmade gift ideas. Enjoy!
