A nice twist on traditional hot cider, made with pear juice, tea, and Torani Sugar-Free Classic Caramel Syrup from Target. This slow cooker recipe will warm your insides and make your house smell like ‘fall’. Serve at holiday parties for a no-fuss drink!
When I think of fall certain smells come to mind. Some of my favorites are cinnamon, apple, and orange. In reality, what gives most things that ‘fall’ smell is the spice blend. Typically, this includes cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger.
You could literally throw sliced apples and oranges into a pot of water with these spices and the smell of fall will smack you in the face.
Throwing a fall or winter gathering? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could kill two birds with one stone?
Instead of simmering spices, why not make a warm and cozy tea that smells just as great!
Have you noticed how people often forget about pears with the hype of pumpkin and apples during the fall? That’s a mistake!
Pears go so well with fall flavors so I wanted to give this underdog a chance to shine.
This Slow Cooker Caramelly Pear Hot Tea is perfect for chilly fall and winter gatherings. Just throw everything into your slow cooker and your whole house will smell amazing in no time.
To make things easier, the base of this recipe is organic pear juice.
You can find this in ‘healthy’ grocery stores that specialize in organic and natural foods. If you aren’t near one of those stores most regular grocery stores have pear juice in the baby section.
We also opted for Asian Pears. The main reason for this is that they are round and are more uniform when cut. Any kind of pear will work, though!
Remember, how I said pears pair well with fall flavors? Well, caramel goes great with pears! Just as tasty as the caramel apple blend, IMO.
To give this Slow Cooker Caramelly Pear Hot Tea that caramel flair I used Torani Sugar-Free Classic Caramel Syrup from Target. It is made with simple ingredients like Splenda and is completely calorie, carb, and sugar-free.
Dark caramelized brown sugar flavor reminiscent of hard caramel candies with none of the calories!
Torani mixes so well into desserts, drinks, and this Slow Cooker Caramelly Pear Hot Tea. The creamy caramel undertone is to die for!
They offer SO MANY different flavors that mix easily into almost any drink. It makes it super easy to create a new, delicious drink recipe that’s completely you!

That sounds great for this time of year. I’d love to try it myself. Thanks for sharing!
This caramelly pear hot tea is great for sipping in cool weather. Keeps you nice and toasty!
Oh wow this tea sounds delicious! I am definitely going to have to make this very soon, thank you so much for sharing the recipe! 🙂
It’s the perfect tea for this time of year
Apple cider , cold or hot
If you like apple cider you will love this pear hot tea too
This sounds ahhh-mazing!! I usually stick to hot tea and Cocoa in the cold months.
Both are great hot drinks
Very interesting & unique recipe. Thanks for sharing.
It’s the perfect drink to sip by a fire
Sounds good. I like to make what we call cranberry tea, which is good either hot or cold. I haven’t quite perfected the recipe since it’s almost impossible to find a 16 oz bag of fresh cranberries any more and 12 oz bags make the cranberry flavor too weak for the rest of the ingredients. It involves bringing a bag of cranberries (sorted, of course) to a boil in about 3 qts of water, then adding a tablespoon or so of whole cloves, a couple cinnamon sticks, the juice of 3 oranges, and a couple cups of sugar – that’s the hardest to adjust. I’m wondering if using something like the sugar free Torani cinnamon syrup might work in it instead of the cinnamon sticks, too. After the cranberries pop, simmer it all for 30 minutes or so, then strain so the spices don’t get too strong. Looks very festive, too.
That sounds like an amazing tea recipe. I will have to try it!
For Fall or winter, hot cocoa is my favorite drink! I like to make it with fresh powdered cocoa, and savor the process as much as the end product.
Making things from scratch always makes it feel special and taste better in my opinion
My favorite fall drink is hot tea with honey. I also love hot chocolate in the winter and fall
Both excellent choices
My favorite drink is hot chocolate.
You can’t go wrong with hot chocolate
I always love drinking Apple cider this time of year! My favorite may change after I try that slow cooker caramelly pear hot tea! Thank you for sharing!
This would be a nice switch for you
I really like Pumpkin Smoothies. I add some cooked pumpkin, frozen bananas, vanilla protein powder, pumpkin spice, unsweetened almond milk, and ice.
I haven’t found a pumpkin dish or drink I like yet. I’m weird.
I’ve used these syrups for coffee, but never tea. This looks absolutely perfect for fall, and something special that I would make for my Thanksgiving feast.
This would totally taste amazing at Thanksgiving.
I will make because I love anything Apple Cider and Caramel.Star bucks has an awesome Apple cider drink too.
This hot tea is just the right mix for you!
I generally go for anything with a seasonal flavor & hot! Definitely going to have to try this!!!

Hot chocolate is a classic that most people love
I like hot apple cider with a cinnamon stick in it. My Mother used to make it for me when I was little.
Did your mother have a special hot cider recipe she used?
This sounds great. I also love chi tea latte. Yummy!
That’s a great way to warm you up too
My favorite drink is hot chocolate.

You should give this hot tea a try
I like a hot apple cider with s a little bit of caramel.
If you like that you will love this tea too
My favorite fall drink is hot chocolate. I recently learned the difference between hot cocoa and hot chocolate. Hot cocoa is made with cocoa powder, milk, butter, sugar, and hot chocolate is made with melted chocolate. So I warm a mug of milk, and melt some chocolate into it and voila!… a wonderful warm holiday drink!
I didn’t know hot cocoa had butter in it
I love apple cider from the orchard, So crisp and delicious.
Things always taste better when you get them directly from the source
This looks and sounds so good, and I know a lot of people that would love it. I don’t really have a favorite fall drink. I drink hot tea year round
I drink hot tea year-round too. To me, it’s like drinking coffee all year
I love anything pumpkin spice for fall. As for winter my mom’s homemade hot chocolate is my favorite drink.
How does she make her hot chocolate special?
My favorite winter drink is hot cocoa. I especially love it with lots of marshmallows!
Hot chocolate is always better with marshmallows or whipped cream
I love pears, caramel, and hot tea, but I’d never thought to try them together. Sounds delicious! Apple cider has always been my go-to hot drink, but I think it’s time to branch out.
If you like apple cider I think you’ll like this pear hot tea
I’ve never really liked hotdrinks like coffee or hot tea, but in Winter I do occasionally like hot chocolate. Hey, chocolate is always good.
Plus I like that hot chocolate doubles as a desert
this looks and sound so good and not really hard to make
In the winter I drink at lot of tea misc flavors, Chia tea with Bailey’s Irish cream, Hot chocolate straight of some times a little brandy
Chai tea and Bailey’s sounds pretty good
This looks pretty good and I’m not a tea person. Personally I love making coffee and using hot cooa instead of cream and sugar. So good!
That’s a great idea to make an easy mocha coffee
I like a nice warm apple cider. But this tea here sounds amazing! I will have to give this a try!
You will love this hot tea
I love cool tea in the summer/fall and warm tea in winter/spring. I think I do it because my mother used to make it that way when I was growing up.
I love sweet Traditions like that
I like drinking hot chocolate or hot tea when it gets cold outside. But I would like to try this recipe.
It’s a great drink any time of year
In the winter my favorite drink is hot chocolate of course. During the holidays, eggnog. Fall? Well that has to be cider.
All great choices
My favorite fall drink is pumpkin spice coffee. It tastes so delicious and my hubby and I love to run into cumberland farms and treat ourselves.
I have never tried pumpkin spice coffee but it sounds perfect for the season
I love coffee during any season but particularly the fall and winter
There’s nothing like a hot cup of coffee on a cold fall or winter morning
