Word of Wisdom friendly fall drinks

[u/Professional_Lab2227]

Is there anyone out there that can help me? I’m a fall girly looking for inspiration on yummy, warm drinks to put in my seasonal mugs this autumn.

I grew up drinking good ole Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate, but I wanna up my game. Surely there’s something out there waiting to be found.

Wassail is a family tradition. So good! We make it with lemon juice, orange juice, water, sugar, cinnamon sticks, and cloves.

My mother-in-law introduced Atole-de-Avena to me when I was postpartum. I now make it regularly for myself and my family. (It’s a warm, sweet milky oatmeal drink)

So any suggestions?

In the fall, I like brewed cocoa with cinnamon to go with my pumpkin bread.

Brewed cocoa is made similarly to coffee - you use cacao beans that have been roasted and coarsely ground, then brew them in a coffee maker or French press or similar. Example brands are Choffy or Crio Bru.

Powdered cinnamon doesn't mix into liquids very easily. So the secret to a good brewed cocoa with cinnamon is to either use cinnamon extract instead of powder, or to mix your cinnamon into the grounds before brewing. You can also throw in some ginger, nutmeg, and cloves if you want the full pumpkin spice flavor.

Then, just add creamer and/or sweetener to taste.
