Caramel Apple Spice

It is that time of year...time for apple cider! Here is a great twist on a fall staple.

4 c. apple cider
1/2 TBS cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
3 TBS caramel syrup (ice cream topping)
Whipped Cream (optional)

Place cider, cinnamon, cloves and syrup in crock pot. Stir well. Cook on low 4 hours. Refrigerate leftovers and reheat in microwave.

Fresh Strawberry Lemonade

1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 5-8 lemons)
1 cup sugar (we used much less!)
2 cups sliced, fresh strawberries

Combine the lemon juice and sugar in a blender and blend for about 30 seconds to combine.

Add the strawberries and puree or pulse until the strawberries are at the desired chunkiness. I liked the strawberries slightly chunky!

Pour the lemon/strawberry mixture into a pitcher and add 4 cups of cold water. Serve chilled.

*Makes about 8 cups of juice

Mocha Coffee Slush

My sweet husband surprised me with a homemade mocha slush. It was very similar to this one, but nowhere near the cost!!!

Here is his recipe.


1 cup crushed ice
3/4 cup milk
3 T. mocha coffee drink mix
1-2 T. chocolate syrup
1/2 t. vanilla extract
whipped cream

Directions:
In a blender or food processor blend milk, coffee mix, chocolate syrup, sweetener & vanilla until smooth. Serve immediately topped with whipped cream and chocolate syrup. Enjoy!

 
 
The great thing about slushes or smoothies is that that you can play around with the different flavors to come up fantastic drinks!
