How is the apple juice prepared for the Caramel Apple Spice?

The apple juice for the Caramel Apple Spice is prepared by steaming. This process involves heating the apple juice until it becomes warm and frothy, which enhances its flavor and creates a comforting, cozy beverage, particularly desirable during colder seasons. Steaming also allows the juice to blend seamlessly with the other ingredients, such as the caramel sauce, creating a rich and satisfying drink. The warmth of the steamed juice contrasts nicely with the whipped cream and caramel drizzle that commonly top the drink, making it an inviting choice for customers.

In contrast, chilling apple juice would not provide the same comforting warmth associated with the Caramel Apple Spice. Whipping or freezing apple juice wouldn't serve the purpose of creating a warm, flavorful beverage either, making steaming the clear choice for preparation.
