2. Autumn tea

Tired or apple and orange recipes? if you want a true autumn tea, mandarins are a perfect choice. And if you like them, autumn is a really a great season to look forward to. Harvesting starts in the late September, and the best ones are always available throughout autumn and winter. Depending on the preferred taste, you can replace them with tangier tangerines.

  • 1 teaspoon of Earl Grey tea

  • ½ - 1 inch of fresh ginger

4. Hot fruit tea

Warming, sweet and irresistible, hot fruit tea is the “real” fruits tea mixed with black tea leaves. Result? Intense, fruity drink that you’ll want to enjoy slowly and often. As every teapot is different, you may need to adjust the amount of fruits in this recipe to fill the whole teapot. If you want to adjust the strength of black tea, use 2 tea bags instead of loose leaf tea, or place the loose leaf tea into cotton tea bags.

  3. Add cinnamon stick, orange juice and tea leaves.

  4. Steep for 10 minutes and pour into cups.

Autumn without pumpkins is like summer without a sun. Thankfully, pumpkins are no longer reserved only for pies—they make great lattes too! Pumpkin pie spice latte is almost a must try if you want to enjoy the season right. This recipe is super simple, and doesn’t use pumpkin pure or complicated steps.

  • 2 teaspoons of black tea

Directions
