My Tía's Buñuelos

2 hrs, 40 min

This family recipe has been a favorite since childhood. My aunt effortlessly prepared them, while my job was to generously sprinkle the fried, flaky, thin, and crispy disks with cinnamon sugar. There are various styles of buñuelos, but this version is the most commonly found in Chihuahua, where my family resides. If I were to share a tip, it would be not to skip the step of letting the bunuelos dry out for two hours. I've often wondered why some buñuelos felt heavy and oily, and my aunt revealed that this was the secret to her ultra-bubbly and flaky buñuelos. Feel free to have fun with the cinnamon sugar mix. I’m a purist and kept it simple with our Cinnamon Toast Spice which features three different types of cinnamon and a touch of nutmeg.

At Fulcrum Coffee, on your way to the iconic Space Needle, Kelsey has whipped up a treat: the Honey Graham Latte. It's a luscious espresso shot, crowned with frothy oat milk and graham cracker crumbs, reminiscent of childhood teddy grahams.

Poudre Douce Pumpkin Latte

6 min

Right in the heart of downtown Seattle, we were savoring Fulcrum Coffee's Spiced Latte. We kick it off with a bold shot of espresso, mix in a pumpkin puree-infused syrup, add some sugar, and sprinkle in our Poudre Douce spice. The result? Well, it's not your average spiced latte. It's not cloyingly sweet, but it's incredibly smooth. This blend goes beyond your usual cinnamon kick. The fusion of ginger and allspice takes it to the next level, delivering an indulgent taste that's hard to resist.

Pumpkin Pie Spice Creamsicle Floats

5 min

Easily customizable for both children and adults, this spooky Halloween drink is our take on a classic: The Creamsicle. Vanilla ice cream and Fanta form the foundation for this drink, but the warm notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice in Pumpkin Pie Spice take it to a whole new level. It's very spice forward, so be sure adjust your sprinkle of spice to get your desired level of flavor. A bit of Heilala Vanilla Paste rounds out the drink for the kids, but it can easily be replaced with a splash of vodka and Baileys for the adult-only party. Awesome jack-o-lantern wine glasses, not included.

Spice Cream

February 4th is National Ice Cream for Breakfast Day. If you're not making your ice cream into SPICE cream, you're definitely missing out. Here are some of our favorite (and unexpected!) flavor combos for you to try at home.With Vanilla: Madras Curry may surprise you as a pairing for ice cream (it surprised us too!) but once you taste it, it's impossible to deny. The bright pop of ginger and warm hint of cinnamon make it an ideal topping for vanilla. The two flavors combined will leave you with a slight hint of citrus on your tongue. Hojicha is a roasted green tea finely milled that brings a smooth, earthy, and nutty flavor to your bowl of vanilla. It's the perfect way to start the day! Cinnamon Toast Spice is such an obvious winner on vanilla ice cream, you're probably wondering why you hadn't thought of it yourself! The warm flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar pair well with your ice cream while evoking all the flavors of your favorite breakfast. With Chocolate: Kashmiri Garam Masala is deep and dark roasted with warm spices like cinnamon. Cloves make this blend intensely flavorful. Mouth wateringly aromatic, our Garam Masala brings out the best in chocolate. Alderwood Smoked Salt has an incredible amount of flavor in a single ingredient! Salty with a hint of campfire, this topping balances the richness in the chocolate. Urfa Biber is truly a unicorn of a chile. Naturally earthy with hints of tobacco, it will give you a mellow kick of heat that instantly gets cooled by the ice cream.
