Extra Tips to Make Any Coffee Brew Spookier

Want to take your Halloween coffee to the next level? Here are some finishing touches to make each cup truly chilling.

• Add Seasonal Spices: Create an aromatic blend by adding half a teaspoon of your favourite spice, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger, to your coffee. For extra autumnal flair, add a squirt of pumpkin puree.

• Marshmallow Spider Webs: Melt marshmallows, then use a fork to drag thin lines across the top of your coffee for a cobweb effect. Sprinkle with edible glitter for extra sparkle.

• Halloween-Coloured Whipped Cream: Use food colouring to tint whipped cream in Halloween colours – orange, green, and purple – for a festive swirl effect.

• Bloody Vampire Brew: Add red food colouring to your coffee for a blood-red brew, and drip extra red colouring around the rim for a dramatic look.

• Use Spooky Stencils: Sprinkle cinnamon or cocoa powder over Halloween-themed stencils like bats or skulls to create spooky patterns on top of your coffee.

• Toffee Apple Syrup: Make caramelised apple syrup by melting sugar with apple slices, then blending it. Add to iced coffee for a seasonal twist.

• Amaretti Biscuits in Halloween Shapes: Bake amaretti biscuits shaped like pumpkins, ghosts, or witches’ hats, and serve with your Halloween drinks.

• Rotten Teeth Marshmallows: Add a gruesome touch by dyeing mini marshmallows in yellow, brown, and black to mimic rotten teeth. Scatter them on top of your whipped cream.
