With the arrival of autumn, we are excited to clear the dust off our mugs and prepare hot drinks that resonate and calm the senses. If you're anything like us, you're probably bored of the usual hot chocolate and apple cider. So, we're back at it with exotic winter drinks that will elevate your fall and keep you cosy.
1- Mexican Hot Chocolate
Adding an edge to our traditional favourite, Mexican Hot Chocolate is hot chocolate with a hint of chilli. Mixing the cocoa powder with vanilla, cinnamon, and a touch of chilli powder, Mexican Hot Chocolate is a new winter favourite. It brings warmth, sweetness, and a little heat—perfect for those chilly, autumnal nights.
2- Golden Milk
Hear us out! Golden Milk is made of turmeric, cinnamon, and warm milk, full of health benefits, anti-inflammatory properties, and incredibly appetising. Despite the possibility of being thrown off by its bright yellow colour, the drink is truly delicious. It's also known for improving your sleep quality. Drinking it at night is recommended for maximum relaxation.
3- Rose Hot Chocolate
Rose and saffron are two fragrant ingredients commonly found in Middle Eastern and North African desserts. When added to hot chocolate, they bring an aromatic experience that will delight all your senses. From the pretty presentation and bright colours to the enchanting smell of roses, saffron, and chocolate, this drink feels like Valentine's Day in a cup. It's a warm, comforting treat with a sophisticated twist.
4- Spiced Apple Tea with Mint
Winter warmth mixed with a hint of summer freshness, Spiced Apple Tea with a touch of mint will give you the perfect balance. For those who love summer and crave the freshness of a cool breeze even in the cold of winter, this drink is made for you. The sweet apples paired with the coolness of mint make it the ideal transition drink between the seasons.
5- Ginger-Coconut Latte
If you have a cold but are also looking for something healthy without traumatising your senses, this drink is it! Creamy, sweet coconut adds a comforting base to the refreshing coffee, while a pinch of ginger provides a tantalising kick and many health benefits for those who just can't get rid of the flu quickly. This latte is the perfect pick-me-up, offering the warmth of a latte with a boost to your immune system.
These drinks aren't just about the flavours; they're about warming you from the inside out. So, grab your mug and let autumn taste as cosy as it feels!
