So I had THE greatest discovery this week. Probably the best discovery of the WHOLE YEAR! Last year I was introduced to Starbucks Carmel Apple Spice drink. It is one of few non coffee items you can get at Starbucks. How I lived in Seattle for 2 1/2 years without knowing about it is beyond me. My naivety saved us a lot of money though while living in Starbucks land. Anyway, I love them and find any reason to swing by the Starbucks that is 6 miles from my house. It is hard to justify going that far and especially if it isn't cold outside. Well the other day it was a brisk morning and I had to go right past the Starbucks to go to the school I was subbing at. I watched them make the drink right in front of me and was shocked when they used regular apple juice. What made the drink so good then and different from just warm apple juice? I decided to look up online once I was at school if anyone knew how to make the drink. I had tried attempts but no success. Well, I found the key ingredient is cinnamon syrup and the kicker is...........Starbucks sells it in their store! So right after school I went and bought a bottle for $6.95. That is the price of two large drinks!
I was so excited to try it and share it with Ryan. I bought all the other supplies apple juice, whip cream and carmel sauce.
(Notice my Seattle mug even!)Then I made the Carmel Apple Spice drink at my house. I was in heaven. I am so exited about this discovery! To make it even better, I made Pumpkin Scones which are also a love of ours from Starbucks. I think mine our better than theirs though. It was a delicious Starbucks morning.
Mmm Yum!

That sounds so delicious. Are you willing to share the cider and the scone recipe with me? I'd love to try it. Toasty warm cider sounds perfect to start my early mornings.
I love the internet. You can find almost anything you want.
So that is why you were so excited to see Starbucks. Glad you found the recipe, will you make it for breakfast in a couple of weeks?? I wanna try.
I got Starbucks hot cocoa mix at Costco today. I can't wait to try it. I love their hot chocolate. They have a salted caramel one right now that is AMAZING!! Definately worth a try.
I am a testator that the cider and scones were DELICIOUS!!!! I ate way too many of them. Yes, please share both the recipes. We just needed a fireplace to snuggle next to.
I also love those things, my cousin introduced them to me a while back. I will definitely have to try the recipe. BTW, I love the pic of Ryan eating the scone.
