## The Golden Goblet: Vanilla Caramel Macchiato Bliss
This recipe is inspired by the iconic golden goblets used on Love is Blind. It’s rich, decadent, and visually stunning, just like the show’s signature drinkware. The Vanilla Caramel Macchiato creamer adds a layer of sweetness and sophistication, making it the perfect treat for a special occasion or just a cozy night in.
**Ingredients:**
* 1 cup strong brewed coffee (or 2 shots of espresso)
* 1/4 cup International Delight Vanilla Caramel Macchiato Creamer
* 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
* 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
* Whipped cream (optional)
* Caramel drizzle (optional)
* Gold sprinkles (optional, for that Golden Goblet sparkle!)
**Instructions:**
1. **Prepare the Coffee:** Brew your coffee or espresso according to your preferred method. A dark roast works well to balance the sweetness of the creamer and caramel.
2. **Create the Caramel Base:** In your mug, drizzle 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce around the inside. This will create a beautiful visual effect and add a burst of caramel flavor with every sip.
3. **Combine Flavors:** Pour the hot coffee into the mug. Add the vanilla syrup and stir well to dissolve.
4. **The Creamy Touch:** Gently pour in the International Delight Vanilla Caramel Macchiato Creamer. Stir until everything is well combined and the coffee has a lovely, creamy color.
5. **The Grand Finale:** Top with whipped cream, if desired. Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the whipped cream and sprinkle with gold sprinkles for an extra touch of elegance. Or, if foregoing whipped cream, a light dusting of cocoa powder can also lend visual flair.
6. **Enjoy Responsibly:** Sip slowly and savor the decadent flavors. Feel like you’re in the pods, making life-altering decisions (but with a much more delicious outcome).
**Pro Tip:** For an iced version, simply chill the coffee and combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake well and pour into a glass filled with ice. Garnish as desired.
## The Pod Proposal: Hazelnut Harmony Latte
This recipe is all about the intimacy and connection of the pods. The hazelnut flavor is warm, comforting, and inviting, just like the conversations that happen within those walls. It’s a simple yet satisfying latte that will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
**Ingredients:**
* 1 cup strong brewed coffee (or 2 shots of espresso)
* 1/4 cup International Delight Hazelnut Creamer
* 1/4 cup milk (any kind – dairy, almond, soy, oat)
* 1 tablespoon hazelnut syrup (optional, for extra hazelnut intensity)
* Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. **Brew the Coffee:** Prepare your coffee or espresso as usual. A medium roast works best for this latte, allowing the hazelnut flavor to shine through.
2. **Warm the Milk:** Gently warm the milk in a saucepan or microwave. You can also froth it for a creamier texture.
3. **Combine Ingredients:** Pour the hot coffee into your mug. Add the hazelnut syrup, if using, and stir well.
4. **Creamy Hazelnut Embrace:** Pour in the International Delight Hazelnut Creamer and the warmed milk. Stir gently until everything is combined.
5. **Aromatic Finish:** Sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon for a touch of warmth and spice.
6. **Savor the Connection:** Close your eyes, take a sip, and imagine you’re sharing this latte with your soulmate in the pods. Feel the connection!
**Pro Tip:** For a richer, more indulgent latte, use a hazelnut-flavored liqueur instead of syrup. Be sure to adjust the amount of creamer to your liking.
## The Honeymoon Hideaway: White Chocolate Raspberry Romance

* 2 tablespoons raspberry syrup
* Whipped cream (optional)
