Hot drinks can include anything from dreamy lattes and mulled wine to fruity tea and smooth cider.
And thanks to this roundup, you’ll be happy and warm all winter long!
Nothing beats a mug of steaming coffee or tea when the weather turns cool. That said, there are so many yummy winter drink recipes around – from herbal teas to boozy hot toddies.
I’m a sucker for a vanilla or caramel latte. But I also won’t say no to a glass of spiced apple cider.
Luckily, these hot drinks are sure to hit the spot whatever your preferences.
1. Homemade Chai Tea
Chai is fragrant, flavorful, and fantastic. When you whip it up at home, you can further tweak it to suit your tastes.
This recipe is delightfully spiced. It also goes heavy on cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves.
They give it a rich, full-bodied flavor that’ll tantalize your taste buds with every sip.
Keep in mind that this recipe makes about four cups of tea. So for a single serving, you’ll need to adjust the ratio of ingredients.
Fun fact: chai literally means tea. So when we say “chai tea,” we’re actually saying “tea tea!”
2. Homemade Hot Chocolate
This thick, creamy hot chocolate is every child’s dream come true. (Who am I kidding? It’s my dream come true, too!)
It’s wonderfully sweet and decadent and uses just five ingredients.
3. Homemade Hot Apple Cider
Looking for a gorgeous, golden drink that’s perfect for fall? Hot apple cider is just the thing.
This recipe for it is the real deal, too. It’s not just warmed-up apple cider you picked up at the store.
Instead, it’s 100% homemade apple cider you’ll make from scratch.
Start with unsweetened apple juice. (Freshly boiled juice from apples is best, but store-bought is okay, too.)
Add maple syrup for sweetness, then mix in the spices.
It’s a spiced, healthy treat that your entire family will appreciate. They’ll want you to make it all autumn long.
