I enjoy hot drinks throughout the year, but come winter time I can’t get enough. I find they not only keep warm, but they keep me from snacking and even can satisfy my sweet tooth. Ok sometimes I include a piece of dark chocolate with my tea, but that is still better than a bottomless bag of cookies.
My standby hot drink to keep my hands warm is a selection of herbal, black and green teas, but when I want something with a little more substance to replace my coffee in the morning or an afternoon pick me up or a late night treat I look to these 5 recipes for a sweet treat that feels indulgent, but also comes with extra nutrients.
I love myself a good spicy chai tea with milk and honey. I also add extra ginger and black pepper to any blend, which I love for taste, but is also quite healthy. In this recipe we get an extra boost from a little bit of healthful pumpkin puree. Fiber and vitamins will fill your mug. You can even keep it caffeine free with a rooibos tea blend.
One of my favorite drinks to enJOY in Israel, but when you make it at home you can control the amount of sugar and add even more toppings. This drink can be made with any kind of milk, the thickening comes from the cornstarch, so keep it lighter or heavier based on the milk you choose. Same with the toppings, cover it with nuts and even dried fruits when you want it as a satisfying snack, or limit it to cinnamon and coconut for fewer calories.
