Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte
Fall is in the air and I thought it would be fun to share a recipe from The Roasted Bean with you. Mitch is always looking for creative ways to please his customers on Palmar Island. They are as ready for fall as I am, but truth be told, in Coastal South Carolina it’s often too hot through September and most of October to enjoy a PSL or other hot fall beverages. Enter the Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte …
The Roasted Bean is a small, independent coffee shop in the fictional town of Palmar Island where my sweet romance stories take place. While you can’t sample Mitch’s creations in real life, you can easily make this delicious beverage at home and visit the cozy shop in my novels. All He Wants For Christmas has quite a few coffee shop scenes. Download a copy and read while you enjoy this sweet holiday romance.
