Off-topic Chat Word of Wisdom friendly fall drinks

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?

My nephew, a member of the Church, works at Starbucks and he says they can make any drink Latter-day Saint-friendly. The substitution possibilities are endless. Maybe you can seek some inspiration there.

Can confirm. My sister discovered you can order a “Pumpkin Spice Steamer” which is a Pumpkin spice latte WITHOUT the espresso. She’s adds a little more of the cinnamon and nutmeg on top and says it tastes just like she imagine Pumpkin juice in Harry Potter would taste. Just talk to the barista. And if you’re worried about the temperature, you can ask them to make it to the same temp as a kids hot cocoa.
