4 fall-inspired coffee drinks in Athens
For many people, including myself, coffee is a necessity. Whether it’s an iced mocha to cool off on a hot day or a classic hot black coffee to soothe your soul while relaxing and watching your favourite television show, we’ve got you covered.
Once in a while, it’s rejuvenating to be able to alter your usual order. Therefore, why not try some new fall flavours? Hopefully, you’re as excited as I am about everything pumpkin spice.
Here are four easy-to-make fall beverages that will immediately transport you to the season!
Latte à la pumpkin spice
This delectable beverage is perfect for all pumpkin lovers out there. This is delicious hot or cold at any time of day! Whether you’re winding down for the day and want to enjoy a nice hot cup of pumpkin delight or need a quick pick-me-up after a long morning, we’ve got you covered.
A few hidden pumps of vanilla enhance the flavours in your mouth, resulting in an absolutely delectable drink. Whip cream, a few nutmeg and pumpkin spice shavings, and you’re ready to go. This latte is readily available at local establishments such as Court Street Coffee and Starbucks.
Ingredients for the kitchen:
1 mug milk (of your choice)
2 espresso shots
1 tbsp pumpkin purée
2 tsp maple syrup
12 tbsp vanilla extract
14 tsp pumpkin pie spice
A small pinch of sea salt, fine
Cream whipping cream and a pinch of pumpkin pie spice
Mocha Caramel Creme
If you enjoy caramel beverages and fall, this is your new go-to beverage. Caramel is the star of this autumn-inspired beverage. This beverage is made with dutch mocha, sugar, caramel syrup, and caramel-flavored whip cream.
Not only does it sound better, but the taste is significantly better as well. Technically, this beverage can be served all year, so you are not required to wait until fall to enjoy it! This is also available at the lovely Donkey Coffee, Court Street Coffee, and Starbucks!
Ingredients for the kitchen:
12 cup heavy cream
1 tsp. confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon extract de vanille
14 cup cocoa processed in the Netherlands
12 cup cream, half-and-half (or just 12)
4 tbsp. freshly brewed coffee
12 cup syrup with a caramel flavour
Caramelized butterscotch ice cream topping
Latte au Maple et au Pecan
Back to another delectable latte! Consider a robust espresso. Combine it with maple syrup and top with delectable pecan, brown butter, and sugar toppings. You now possess a delectable Maple Pecan Latte! You can purchase this hot or cold, depending on your preference.
Take this drink, sit back and relax while watching your favourite television show and take in the atmosphere of the spooky season. This additional beverage is available at Starbucks, and our neighbourhood Donkey Coffee also offers similar beverages, such as a Salted Caramel Latte!
