Cinnamon Syrup at Home
Making syrup at home is a great way to not only save money, but give you the freedom to create whichever flavoring you want.
All you need to do is add 1/2 cup of white sugar, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 3/4 water, and 2 cinnamon sticks into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Once it’s boiling and the sugar is melted, put it on low for 8 or 10 minutes, until the concoction is reduced by half.
Turn off the heat, add in your vanilla, and set aside. Once it’s cooled, store it in an airtight container in the fridge. You can use this syrup for up to 3 weeks.

Pumpkin Autumn Latte
Several fall drinks get people out of bed. One of the most popular flavors that can be added is pumpkin. Adding pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice instead of maple syrup gives you a wonderful fall drink everyone adores.
Cold Drinks
Adding ice to your mug is perfect for my ice coffee lovers. Or, if you want something a bit fancier, you can add all of this with some ice into a blender and whip up a wonderful, blended drink. Either way, some people like cold drinks over hot and there are several ways to go about this.
An additional trick to keep your drink from being watered down is by grabbing ice cube trays and either freezing brewed coffee, or milk with flavorings to make sure water doesn’t disrupt your sips.
