STORY
This actually started out as me flavoring my coffee in the morning – and a combination reminded me of Christmas – so I decided to spruce it up a bit without the coffee…..Creating this flavorful drink which reminds me of Christmas candles, a bit of Warm Apple Cider, and a touch of fruitcake berries!
