evening drinks - alternative to hot choc?

[PatsysPyjamas]

I am trying not to drink during the week, but getting a bit bored of my nightly hot chocolate. Are there any other wintry hot drink alternatives that feel a bit luxurious?

[Artandco]

Belivor do a hot winter spice cordial. Like a non alcoholic mulled wine

Same with hot apple juice heated with a cinnamon stick

[Pippidoeswhatshewants]

M&S do an awesome alcohol free mulled wine.
Spiced tea.

[AlpacaYourThings]

Have you tried the 'Green Bottle' Spiced Berry? It's like mulled wine, but non alcoholic.

X post with all the non alcoholic mulled wine suggestions

Twinings Cherry & Cinnamon is lush :)

[BathshebaDarkstone]

Damn I was going to mention Bottle Green spiced berry as well! A new discovery for me today.

You can't beat a hot vimto.

[PatsysPyjamas]

Mmm. Thanks all. Felix, I just had a hot blackcurrant! However, I am liking the sound of spicy cordial. Are there any other creamy drinks?

[tassisssss]

I like herbal/fruit teas. I have just had a blackcurrant one.

I love a Horlicks. And whittads have some lovely hot chocolates. They do a dreamtime which is a hot choc for bed and their white hoc choc is to die for!

[PuggyMum]

Whittards even!

[FelixTitling]

Milo is nice.

[FelixTitling]

Sorry, posted too soon. Milo is a nice milky drink somewhere between and hot choc and a Horlicks.

What about a chai latte?

[hugoagogo]

How about a milky Chai?
I like ovaltine myself or nesqik, but I know I am not cool.

[SconeRhymesWithGone]

Warm full-fat milk with a spoonful of sugar, a drop of vanilla, and a sprinkling of freshly ground nutmeg.

[PatsysPyjamas]

Does chai have caffeine in it?
I like the sound of ALL of these. I will become the queen of non-alcoholic winter drinks! White choc hot chocolate - is that really sickly sweet?

[hugoagogo]

Chai is made with black tea, so has got caffeine in it, but it is not strong. You might want to avoid it if you are sensitive to it though.

I could drink a double macchiato before bed and still sleep like a baby

[TheSpottedZebra]

I think it has a small amount of caffeine. Or you could mix your own?

I also like rooibos tea (no caffeine), wih either milk, or honey and lemon.

[hugoagogo]

Good old celestial seasonings

[Floellabenjamin]

Sleep tea- fair trade one is fab

[PuggyMum]

Yes it is rather sweet. I don't have it too often!

I discovered Horlicks on a cruise.... I saw an old lady making one and I got a whiff. I asked her what it was an she taught me how to make it (mix cold milk and stir thoroughly then add the hot milk!)

[CointreauVersial]

Blimey, do they still make Horlicks and Ovaltine? I haven't had either since I was a child.

How about Twinings Salted Caramel Green Tea?

[traceybaybee]

My gran has brought myself and all my siblings and cousins up on "cosy juice" translates as hot diluting juice. My 2yo neice asks for it every time she visits lol

[MrsCakesPrecognition]

Hot milk with a slosh of amaretto and a sprinkle of brown sugar is the ultimate wintry night cap.
