(Plus one tea recipe!!)
Nothing says I love you like freshly brewed coffee.
Here are what I found to be the 5 most lovey-dovey coffee drinks (plus a tea freebie!) that you can make for your prince or princess charming, a friend, a parent, or -shh- even yourself (I drank like all of these)
BTW, none of the picks that are mentioned in this article are sponsored or paying me to link.

Drink 1: White Chocolate Mocha with Strawberry Cold-foam
Magic, in a cup!
So, you got two options: order it just like this at Starbucks (venti-size for myself plz!) or you could make it!
Here are the deets:
+ Steam & froth 1-2 cups milk & pour into a fancy mug ( leave room for cold foam)
+ Drop as many shots of freshly brewed coffee as you please (I like 2-3)
+ Pour in an ample amount (a ton, if you’re asking me, haha) of white chocolate syrup. Here is a good pick & here is a home-made recipe! Make sure to stir!
+ Pour a lil bit of heavy cream with some strawberry puree or sauce into a blender, high speed for 15-30 seconds (not the mug) This makes it nice and creamy. Here is a good strawberry sauce & here is a great homemade recipe!
+ Pour the strawberry cold foam into the mug and (fun touch!) add some pretty sprinkles and toppings that are eye-catching and yummy!
+ Add some little candy hearts for some cute toppings!
I love this drink but in milk chocolate mocha! Love this instead? Just sub the white chocolate syrup for regular chocolate- here is my fave!
Drink 2: White Chocolate + Raspberry Mocha
This. This tastes like cheesecake!
You can order this at Starbucks by saying: White Chocolate Mocha with a few pumps of Raspberry syrup or you can make it at the comfort of your own home!
Here are the deets:
+ Steam + froth 1-2 cups milk & pour into a fancy mug
+ Drop as many shots of freshly brewed coffee as you please (I like 2-3)
+ Pour in an ample amount of white chocolate syrup. Here is a good pick & here is a home-made recipe!
+ Pump 3-6 pumps of Raspberry syrup depending on how sweet you want it. Here is a good raspberry syrup & here is a home-made recipe.
+ You can add a teaspoon or two of sugar if you like it extra sweet!
+ Make sure to stir!
+ Add some sprinkles, cookie crumbles, and whipped cream for an extra touch!
Top tip: Serve with a heart shaped sugar cookie or red velvet muffin!
Drink 3: Cinnamon Latte
Soft & soothing. Cinnamon lattes are perfect for an easy-going morning to get some productive work done!
You can order this from your local coffee shop just as is or you can make it yourself!
Here are the deets:
+ Steam + froth 1-2 cups milk & pour into a fancy mug
+ Drop as many shots of freshly brewed coffee as you please (I like 2-3)
+ You can put cinnamon syrup if you like it extra sweet (hey, I don’t blame ya!) Here is a great choice & here is a terrific recipe!
+ You can add a teaspoon or two of sugar if you like it extra sweet!
+ Serve with whipped cream, if you like!
+ Sprinkle some cinnamon powder and try some brown sugar sprinkled on for more depth! (optional)
This tastes divine with some coffee cake!
Drink 4: Charming Caramel Latte
Sweet, decadent, and a little salty. Just the right amount. The perfect blend.
You can order this at your local coffee shop as a caramel latte (try the caramel brulee!) or macchiato, but I’ll spill the deets for the recipe!
Here you go!:
+ Steam & froth 1-2 cups milk & pour into a fancy mug
+ Drop as many shots of freshly brewed coffee as you please (I like 2-3)
+ Stir in about 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce. Here is a great pick!
+ Add a teaspoon or two of brown sugar, depending on your preference
+ 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
+ Add whipped cream (optional)
+ Drizzle some more caramel syrup on top or add some caramel bits (optional)
+ You can also sprinkle in some sea salt for a nice contrast!
Drink 5: Peppermint Hot Chocolate
Yes, this drink can be drank after December. Amazing, right!
You can order this at your local coffee shop as is (don’t forget the whipped cream) and you have the option to easily make this at home!
Here are the deets:
+ Steam + froth milk & pour into a fancy mug
+ Pour one packet of hot cocoa mix and stir until smooth. Here is my favorite hot cocoa mix.
+ Add 1-2 drops of peppermint oil or 1-5 pumps of peppermint syrup depending on your preference. Here is my favorite peppermint oil for baking (it’s all natural!!) + here is a great peppermint syrup.
+ Stir until well mixed
+ Generously pour some cute little marshmallows or whipped cream (optional, but is it really?)
+ Don’t forget festive sprinkles! Try some candy cane sprinkles or chocolate curls. How about some crushed Oreos? Little candy hearts?
Freebie! Clique Mix Tea:
I like to improvise and play around with my tea. Add things that I think are beneficial and yummy. You can read about that in full effect here.
I played around and created this-The Clique Mix Tea
Here are the deets:
+ Boil 1-3 cups of water and pour into a large bowl (not glass!- it could break!)
+ Place one packet of Strawberry + Raspberry tea. Preferably this one.
+ Place one packet of Peach Tea. Preferably this one.
+ 1-2 teaspoon on white sugar or sweetener of choice
+ Stir
+ After brewing for 5 minutes, pour into mugs
+ A splash of heavy cream (I don’t like milk in my tea, so I put a very minimal amount; you can omit this step as well)
+ Add in some fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, slices strawberries.
This goes great with some scones or blueberry muffins!!
