An Ambrosial Autumn Recipe.
As we say goodbye to summer and hello to autumn, this weekend we will be preparing for those colder starts and shorter days! But with this comes excitement for Hot Chocolates, Woolly Jumpers and Pumpkins! Whether autumn for you means curling up under a warm blanket or running through piles of crunchy red and brown leaves, we can’t wait for it all to begin.
With Halloween around the corner, it’s never too soon to start thinking about what treats you might indulge yourself in over the coming colder months. From toffee apples and gingerbread, to mulled wine and spiced lattes; there is an abundance of seasonal treats to indulge in. One of our favourite flavours is Pumpkin Spice and we have an easy heartwarming recipe for you, full of slow releasing energy and super tasty too!
