Spooky Halloween Coffee Recipes
It’s the time of year where the daylight gets shorter, the nights get darker and colder, and Autumn is well underway. Coffee shops and bakeries are taking advantage of Halloween approaching, with themed drinks and treats to get people in the Halloween spirit.
Pumpkins have been a Halloween tradition for hundreds of years. Carving scary faces into pumpkins is a popular Halloween tradition that originated in Ireland and continues on to this day, often illuminated with candles.
Previously Jack-o-Lanterns had been carved out of potatoes or turnips – until Irish immigrants arrived in North America and discovered the bright orange squash plant.
