What is Your Favorite Warm Drink? (Especially in Winter)

DenisP

Well, when it comes to warm drinks, green tea is the king for me all year round. Whether it is Winter, Summer, no matter the season, I always enjoy a nice hot cup of green tea.

That being said, there are definitely some other drinks on my list. Particularly during the holiday season, I really enjoy a nice cup of hot wine. The good thing is that you can just take some cheap wine, add sugar and spices to it, boil it up and it’s instantly delicious!

I also like to just pour some hot chicken broth into a mug and sip on it during a chilly winter morning.

I read in a book that during the 17th or 18th century after a woman had given birth they would give her warm wine with medicinal spices to help her rest and regain her strength. Obviously, you wouldn't need to drink hot wine for that reason (LOL What is Your Favorite Warm Drink? (Especially in Winter)

Haha! Well that’s a fun fact, but I’m pretty sure that back in those days hot wine was used for like everything. It was a really popular drink for the longest time, going back as far as the Medieval ages.

Anyway, I can’t say that I have a particularly special blend or anything. I usually just stick with the fundamentals. I take a 750ml bottle of red wine (typically something cheap, as you don’t need a quality wine for this, in my opinion), and add about ¼ cup of honey, the juice and zest of one orange, a couple of cloves, two cinnamon sticks, and one whole star anise. Bring it to a gentle simmer, and keep it on low heat for about a half hour to an hour.

It’s fantastic to drink before bed on a chilly winter evening.

Early today I drank warm milk during breakfast. I was eating pancakes and I opted to pair it with milk instead of coffee. I like milk with my pancakes because I can roll the pancake and dip it in the warm milk.

Warm milk is actually another good choice that I completely forgot about. I prefer warm milk over cold milk too, because I feel that warming it up brings out the flavor and slight sweetness of whole fat milk.

Hot cacao is also best made with warm milk. Plenty of people use water but I think those people are either on strict diets or just crazy, haha! Hot cacao tastes so much better when you make it with warm milk instead.

I love milk. However, my favorite warm drink is hot coffee. I can drink 3-4 cups of coffee per day but I opt to take 2 cups per day and sometimes replace it with milk. I remember the time that I stop drinking coffee for about a month because my girlfriend is health conscious. But she later allow me to drink coffee but only those herbal coffee.

That's true. A lot of senior citizens nowadays complain about back pains and knee pains and I believe that to be able to not be the same, I should drink milk and other foods that has lots of calcium. However, the problem with the stigma about Milk being only for youngsters is I believe to be caused by parents not giving milk/not pushing teenagers to drink milk because when they reach past their childhood, most teenagers don't like to drink Milk anymore. Also, I've read about an article that says that the Milk we drink from childhood are not going to be very beneficial to us as adults and so a lot of experts recommended Milk drinks for adults like the Bear Brand Adult Plus, Anlene, and etc. to name a few.

Exactly. Our bodies change and some of our cells die and so our needs change in order to cope up with those changes. I am not actually a professional about this topic but I know that the Milk that small children drink have nutrients that cater their needs for growth hormones and of course calcium for the bone growth. However, I believe it's a bit different for the adults because the formulation will be for the bone strength and calcium but not for the growth hormones anymore.

Exactly. Thinking about it makes me a bit uncomfortable tho, I can't imagine myself growing anymore because maybe, it's inappropriate for my age lol.

Really? I thought it was just about the growth hormones that our bodies reject anyways that's why we can't drink children's milk anymore. However, I guess fresh cow's milk doesn't have any age restrictions so maybe we can still drink that as adults. But I'm not very sure.

I've been drinking fresh ginger and turmeric tea for 2 years now and it's health benefits are outstanding. It does a thorough cleaning of your organs and promotes cardiovascular and respiratory health. I haven't had any cough or colds since I started drinking it. also it strengthens the immune system and some even say it's very effective in lowering down the blood pressure.

It's quite easy to prepare, just cut up some ginger and some turmeric and boil for 2 minutes in low heat. You can drink it hot or you can mix some organic homey and refrigerate it for a cool refreshing drink. I like to take it very hot without any sweetener.

Taking coffee is also a good thing to do especially when you are okay with it. I have taken coffee drinks in the past and I never really felt comfortable with it during the day and that is the reason I sticked with taking tea.

As for me, my favorite warm drink is a hot chocolate. I just love chocolates so much, and no other warm drinks can replace hot chocolate. I'm not into coffees, I just don't like the taste and I've read a lot of health risk of it.

I enjoy taking tea with some teaspoons of milk. The fact is that this is one of the ways that you can remain motivated all through the day as well. I believe that when it comes to taking a warm drink that can lift your spirit, you should drink what makes you comfortable through out the day.

coffee takes it for me. It is my favorite morning beverage and also during the evenings when it is not too sunny. During the cold period I drink more cofee since the cold takes a toll on me and I have to be porductive. The best beverage that I go for is some hot coffee without a doubt.

I live in a tropical country and so we don't experience the winter season here. However, during the -ber months (September, October, November, and December) we experience the wet season and there's always a typhoon or heavy rains. The surface becomes cold at those months and my favorite warm drink for those months are either 3-in-1 coffee or hot choco. I'm actually the cheap drinker type so I only drink Nescafe 3 in 1 or Milo Chocolate Drink. However, I discovered Swiss Miss recently and I guess it will become a regular drink as well for the coming months where the temperature becomes cold.

I like drinking tea especially at night because it is healthy but, during cold months I prefer to drink hot chocolate or soup. But honestly, any hot drinks during cold days will do, as long as it is available at home.

Hot chocolate is and always will be my favorite hot drink. The only other hot drink I even like is tea, and hot chocolate tastes a lot better. A nice glass of hot chocolate in the winter is a great way to end the day.

We're on the same boat here. I'm craving so much with hot chocolate and also vanilla milk. Yeah you are right, hot chocolate really suits when it's winter or rainy days.

I prefer ginger tea with lemon and a little of honey. It is soothing to my throat and I feel warmer especially when the weather is cold. I feel that my airways become loose, thus help me breathe freely.

I really like ginger tea when I'm not feeling well - it does wonders for digestion and nausea! I've also heard lots of people who are pregnant and have morning sickness enjoy ginger tea for those same reasons, since it helps them not to feel as queasy.

I enjoy drinking hot coffee even if the weather is not cold. I love how it makes my tummy feels hot. I drink around 4 mugs of it daily. Aside from coffee I also drink hot green tea when I feel so full from eating. I like hot chocolate as well but because I try to cut sugar or sweet as much as possible, I cross it out of my hot drinks list.

How I wish we also have a winter season. We get to wear several layers of clothes and be fashionable with a scarf and all those kinds of things. But sadly, we don't. The closest we can get for cold weather is during a day with a typhoon, where flooded streets and traffic jams are everywhere.

To answer the question, a warm chocolate drink would definitely make me feel okay on a cold rainy night.

Part of me thinks it would be so nice to not have to deal with winter! I live somewhere that gets a ton of snow during the winter, and it can be such a pain!

Sometimes it sounds nice, and dressing up all snuggly with boots and scarves can be fun - but it does get frustrating after a while and you just end up craving warm weather!

That's it. This is also a problem in our country. When there is rain, people crave for sunlight. When there is sunlight, they would crave for the rain.

Is that so? I'm not aware that such things do exist. I guess I'll rephrase my comment then by saying I would only like to experience it for just a few times then travel back to a tropical country that is winter-free haha.

Hot choco is one of my favorite drinks to get at a coffee shop around the winter season. So a hot cup of the stuff fills me with cheer. Sometimes an easy way to save a few bucks is making my hot choco at home.

Vodka, specifically Grey Goose. I'm serious, whenever it's cold at night when I'm writing, I would get a glass and pour some Vodka in it along with some 7-up or Cranberry Juice and I would take a sip while writing. It has a heating effect on my body. I'm actually drinking some now and it taste really good.

Haha, yes! Vodka (or other alcohol) definitely does warm you up. I never thought to drink that as an alternative to coffee or tea, but now that you mention it, it makes complete sense.

I find the ginger and garlic soup lot more tasty. And it can keep me away from the sickness of any sort. And on that note you can see that I also prefer to make use of the corn and other soups. I have not made any form of pumpkin soups of sort. So I'd say that winter is a good month to test out soups.

I also love soup. Chicken noodle is a favorite for our family whenever someone is feeling under the weather. I also really like potato, bacon and leek soup - it's a good, hearty filling soup. Pumpkin soup is good too...especially if you have some crusty bread to serve with it.

I have yet to try the pumpkin flavors on my own. I may have to learn those. I think noodles based variety is a bit different though. Because noodle based specific soups need to be properly boiled. I mostly try the thai version of those soups but overall I'd say that some specific soups have local taste and they are way better that way.

I haven't heard of that kind of soup. But I love the benefits that you have mentioned, so I might try this one.

You can check out ginger and garlic soup homesteading. This soup has simple recipe. I do prefer the chicken stock or the shrimp stock. As that tends to give you some more taste. And overall a good option for those who want the soup during the rainy season.

Is it weird that I still want to drink cold beverages even though it's winter? My favorite drink would be chocolate drink, cold is a must. It's relaxing and comforting to sit on your bed drinking your chocolate drink while watching a movie or reading a book. That's kind of situation I wanted to be in.

Many of my friends feel that way too - they always still get iced coffees even in the dead of winter. I even have friends who love ice cream when there are several feet of snow on the ground!

I think if the cold is not that strong then surely people want to eat something cold. I know few people who eat icecream and some even go for the soda which is cold. Each person has different taste though. It differs from one person to another.

I have an online friend who said she likes to put red pepper in her hot chocolate. Do you add a spice or spices to your warm drink? The drink suggested in this discussion mentions saffron.

The only spice that I add in my drinks is cinnamon. That is a spicy chocolate drink.

I don't mix the spices with desert or say chocolate type of drink. That just adds a odd combination in taste bud. Not sure if that is even healthy in such case. I'd however use the saffron, pistachio and other desert specific toppings.

Me too. It's really odd for me as well. What I like is chocolate mint flavored drinks. I serve it cold. This one makes me feel like it's the holidays. I even drink it throughout the rest of the year.

I haven't done that. I guess it's a culture thing. Kind of like how certain countries such as India are in love with spices. But there are people who simply enjoy adding red peppers to pretty much anything. Though, overdoing it can damage the liver or other parts of the body.

I was perusing a list of hot drink recipes and there is one warm winter drink that I love! I can't believe that I forgot to include it in my list about. Even though you may not like the drink, you'll love the smell that wafts through your home. Wassail. Have you enjoyed this drink?

What is my favorite warm drink during the cold weather seasons? You’d think it’d be an ‘it depends’ question, but for me I have one single love, one definite reply to this question. From Starbucks, a good cup of hot caramel latte. No foam, please. Oh, it’s absolutely heavenly. That’s the only way I can think to describe it - heavenly. When I take my first sip I smile at the warmth that cascades down my throat, and I feel infused with heat as the drink fills me up inside. It’s a thick, rich, sweet drink that never fails to bring me satisfaction - like, life is good when I’m drinking a tasty caramel latte.

My favorite warm drink is obviously tea, and during any time of the year.
The best way for me is to drink green tea and combine it with honey (which I eat with a spoon, and don't put into the cup).
You should try it, it's feels delicious how the sweet honey is washed down by hot green tea.

That sounds really nice. I'd like to try it sometime. I also enjoy green tea. Though, I drink the one with milk added. I think it's called a milk tea. I'll try adding honey to see how it tastes.

I love drinking hot chocolate, or if not tea especially ginger tea with honey or coffee it depends on my mood actually. I do drink it near my window and sometime I do contemplate on what I should do with my life.

I like how you described it. This reminds me of those coffee ads and commercials where the person is always contemplating something.

Come to think of it, we actually do that a lot. We're often staring blankly at an open space while drinking beverages. So funny!

Just a simple coffee with milk and sugar then I'm good to go! Coffee is my go-to drink. At times, I also like drinking warm dark chocolate and strawberry flavor to give it a twist. It depends on my mood. I experiment sometimes. But I prefer hot drinks than cold drinks.
