Rainy November Days

It has been the most rainy, dreary day you could imagine. It's as if it's been 6:00 p.m. all day and the sun is nonexistent. But I guess days like this are great for taking spooky pictures and drinking pumpkin spice tea. 

Caramel Apple Latte Recipe

I've been wanting to create this delicious drink ever since the idea entered my mind 2 weeks ago. I've made it one of my goals to create a fancy drink once a month with the teas I receive (from my tea reviewing job). This latte turned out amazing and is now one of my favorite fall drinks! 

For this latte, I used tea. The tea gave my latte the spicy, caramel apple flavor. I used NecessiTeas Caramel Dipped Apple Tea. You can purchase this tea here: http://www.thenecessiteas.com

You could also use any other caramel apple (or just apple) tea you find in a grocery store or other tea company. 

Caramel Apple Latte Recipe

(1 serving) 

Without Coffee                                                                     With Coffee

1/2 Tablespoon sugar                                                           1/2 Tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract                                                     1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 small spoonful of caramel                                                 1 small spoonful of caramel

1 cup milk (a mug-full)                                                        3/4 cup milk

1 1/2 teaspoon Caramel Dipped Apple Tea                     1/4 cup coffee

                                                                                            1 1/2 teaspoon Caramel Dipped Apple Tea

1) Put your tea leaves into a tea steeper and set aside

2) Put the sugar, vanilla, and caramel into a small sauce pan. Add the milk (or milk & coffee) and put on medium heat. Stir until the sugar and caramel have melted and completely mixed into the milk. Stir the milk fast to create bubbles on top (like a latte!) 

3) Put the tea into the milk mixture and let it steep for a few minutes

4) Pour latte into a mug and drizzle caramel on top

5) Enjoy!

Fall Art

While we were away, I was inspired to paint! I brought lots of watercolors with me and I painted almost every day we were gone. I haven't done much watercolor painting so this was a chance for me to practice. I'm not fully satisfied with the results (what artist is?) but I tried my best to mainly capture the lovely fall colors all around me.

Back from my Vacation

I'm finally back from my vacation in Haliburton, Ontario (Canada)! I had a lovely time and I have so many pictures to share. I'll start with some of my favorites. We stayed in this cute cabin and had a whole private lake to ourselves. It's the perfect place for photographers!

Fall Begins

Fall seems to have begun! All we'll be seeing on Pinterest for the next few months are pumpkin recipes. And...I'm totally ok with that. Last week I got in the fall mood by wearing a sweater and leggings all day long. I also got my first Pumpkin Spice Late from Starbucks!

So every year around this time I tend to stock up on yarn for fall and winter. This year I definitely picked out warm, fall colors. What yarn are you knitting with this fall?

Last of all, my first tea review was posted on Teaviews! It's about a White Chocolate Pumpkin Tea (which is quite fitting!) You can read it here: http://www.teaviews.com
