Now that summer is over, it’s time to ‘fall’ into autumn, with everything orange, pumpkin, and toasty.  Fall is a comfort season, with the scented candles, sweater weather, changing colors, and of course, food.  Those daily runs to Coffee Bean and Starbucks can add up after a few weeks.  Here is a way you can make that beloved pumpkin spice hot beverage in your own home.

First thing you will need is milk of your choice, and a stove top or microwave.  If you chose to heat up by stove, put one cup of milk into a pot and burn on low heat until desired temperature.  By microwave, put one cup of milk into your mug and heat for a minute and a half.  Once your milk is heated, its time to add in the goodies! You will need any type of hot cocoa mix of your choice, pumpkin pie spice, and honey. Mix in ¼ teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, ½ teaspoon of honey, and one teaspoon of hot cocoa mix.

Once all of your ingredients are mixed into your milk, you can reheat it for thirty more seconds to keep it at the desired temperature.  You can then top off the pumpkin spice hot chocolate with whipped cream or cinnamon for more flavor.  Now it is time to sit on your couch, drink your hot chocolate, and watch Netflix.
