Ripe apples, pumpkins, and fallen leaves, autumn is finally here. Fall is my favorite time of the year, and I wait all year long, for this short season. It has a unique beauty, with a splendid array of colors. For some reason, staying at home is as much fun as going out, in the fall. We all want to get cozy in warm blankets and fuzzy socks, with hot drinks in our hands.
The traditional pumpkin spiced latte is an all-time favorite, but sometimes one is in a mood for something different. These three Coffee Drinks are anything, but basic. They are ideal, if you have friends over, or if you want to stay in bed, and read books all day.
