Ingredients Needed:

• 12 ounces apple juice
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon coffee syrup 
• 2 tablespoons whipped cream
• 1 tablespoon caramel sauce

How To Make Caramel Apple Spice?

1. Heat the apple juice: Warm the apple juice in a small pot or microwave until hot but not boiling.
2. Prepare the cup: Add the cinnamon coffee syrup to a mug.
3. Mix the drink: Pour the warm apple juice over the syrup and stir well.
4. Add the toppings: Spoon whipped cream on top.
5. Drizzle with caramel: Finish by drizzling caramel sauce over the whipped cream.

Recipe Tips:

• Use fresh apple juice for the best flavor: Fresh, high-quality apple juice gives the drink a rich and natural sweetness. Avoid using apple juice with added sugar or artificial flavors.
• Heat the apple juice gently: Don’t let it boil, as it can change the taste and make it too hot to drink. Warm it just enough so it’s hot but still smooth and comforting.
• Stir the syrup well before adding toppings: Mixing the cinnamon syrup properly ensures every sip has the right balance of flavor. If not mixed well, the syrup can settle at the bottom.
• Whipped cream should be added just before serving: If you add the whipped cream too early, it will melt into the drink. For the best texture and presentation, add it last, right before you enjoy your drink.
• Drizzle the caramel slowly for even coverage: Pour the caramel sauce in a slow, circular motion over the whipped cream to get an even drizzle. This makes the drink look great and adds the perfect amount of sweetness to every sip.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: First, let the leftover Caramel Apple Spice cool to room temperature. Then, store it in an airtight container or a covered mug in the fridge for up to 3 days. When ready to drink, reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave until warm.
• Reheat: Pour the drink into a small pot and heat on low until warm, stirring occasionally. Do not let it boil, as this can change the flavor.
