There’s something about late summer that makes me want to slow down, sip something beautiful, and start dreaming up my fall drink lineup. August is that in-between month—it’s still warm and sunny, but you can feel fall peeking around the corner. Mornings get a little crisper, and suddenly that iced coffee starts turning into a hot latte. If you’re like me and love to get ahead of the seasonal menu game—whether it’s for your home coffee bar or your café—this is the perfect time to get creative with new flavors and comforting twists.
Whether you’re building a fall coffee menu or just looking to upgrade your morning cup with something delicious and easy, having the right ingredients on hand makes all the difference. That’s where Big Train® drink mixes come in—and I genuinely don’t know what I’d do without them.
Why Big Train is My Secret Ingredient for Every Season 🍂

Taro Lovers, This One’s for You 💜
Now let’s talk about one of my personal obsessions: Taro. Big Train’s Taro Powder is the star of so many of my coffee creations lately—and I couldn’t keep it to myself any longer. If you’ve never had a taro coffee latte, it’s creamy, lightly sweet, and has this beautifully earthy, almost vanilla-like flavor that blends perfectly with coffee.
I’ve been using Big Train Taro Powder to whip up some truly delicious drinks lately. Below are two of my favorites—both are easy, beautiful, and totally fall-worthy.
.Taro Cold Foam Latte (A Café-Worthy Beauty!)
Looking for a coffee drink that’s as Instagrammable as it is delicious? This 3-layer iced latte is the perfect blend of texture, flavor, and fun. The taro cold foam on top adds a velvety, floral-sweet finish that’s so comforting as we move toward cooler days.
Ingredients:
-
-
- 1 cup cold milk (oat, whole, or your fave)
- 2 shots of espresso
- 2 tbsp Big Train Taro Powder
- 1 oz. heavy whipping cream
- 1 oz. milk
- ice
Instructions:
-
-
- Fill a tall glass with ice and pour in the cold milk for your base layer.
- Gently pour the espresso on top to form the second layer (tip: use the back of a spoon for that perfect separation).
- In a small bowl, dissolve 2 tbsp of Big Train Taro Powder in 1 oz. of milk until completely smooth.
- Add the taro mixture to 1 oz. of heavy cream, then froth until fluffy using a handheld frother or electric whisk.
- Spoon your taro cold foam over the espresso layer and enjoy every beautiful, layered sip.
This is one of those drinks that feels like it should cost $7 at Starbies —but you made it yourself. (And probably in pajamas. Win-win.)

. Creamy Taro Coffee Latte (A Fall Favorite Made Easy)
This one’s for those busy mornings when you want something cozy and satisfying but don’t have a lot of time. It’s creamy, flavorful, and has that perfect balance of taro sweetness and bold espresso.
Ingredients:
How to make it:
-
-
- Stir the taro powder into your hot steamed milk until fully dissolved.
- Add in your espresso shots and mix gently.
- Optional: top with foam or a sprinkle of cinnamon for that coffee-shop-at-home feeling.
It’s simple, it’s smooth, and it’s a great introduction to the taro + espresso combo if you’ve never tried it before.
