Fall Spice Tea Latte

Okay, you all I promise this is the last hot drink, I will post about for awhile. Lately I have just been experimenting a lot and if I love it of course I have to share with you. During the school year I always wake up early (before 6am) and after everyone is gone, I usually enjoy a cup of tea while I browse Pinterest before going back to sleep for a bit.

So you already know around this time of year bloggers go crazy posting about pumpkin this and that. Truthfully, I am sick of it and I think the pumpkin trend has been played out even if I do love Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Speaking of PSL the Starbucks here will be carrying them this month and I had a gigantic one last night. This drink inspired this recipe actually. I thought if it tastes so good with coffee, then why not tea?
