Alternative to coffee?

[BogOffWinter]

That’s tea, hot chocolate or decaf versions of coffee! Can’t stand them

I’m constantly frozen (and before anyone suggests putting more clothes on, I wear a thermal vest, long sleeved top and a thick jumper along with leggings under jeans and have the heating turned up high until everyone else complains that it’s too hot and they can’t breathe) - so I drink a lot of coffee to try and stay warm, then even more so when I’m out the house during the day.

Lots of coffee is now increasing my anxiety/keeping me awake most of the night, so are there other hot low caffeine drinks that exist?

*thats NOT tea, hot chocolate or decaf coffee that should say

I often drink plain hot water. Or peppermint, or lemon ginger tra.

Fruit teas? Hot squash?

Herbal or fruit teas, hot squash, hot water, variations on hot milk (eg chai).

Never thought about drinking hot water, I might try that, and the fruit tea! We used to get hot squash when we were sick, never could stand it though. Thanks!

Bovril, Or a chicken or veg oxo cube in boiling water in a mug is perfect in winter

Hot Ribena

Mulled wine ?

Hot water.

Try it with lemon or a slice of orange.

Herbal / fruit teas

Warm milk

Coffee made 50/50 coffee and water

Bovril / oxo

Squash made with hot water.

Soup, maybe an Asian style broth or miso.

Try the health food shops for Barley cup. Get the granules rather than the powder.

Peppermint tea or diluting juice made with boiled water.

I like hot diluting juice sometimes.

Barleycup or Whole Earth no-caf - both much nicer than coffee in my opinion!

I'm currently addicted to fennel tea - really sweet and soothing.

Mint tea or chai tea

I’m sure hot drinks actually make your body cooler?

I like camomile tea. Not sure if you are including herbal teas in your ‘no tea’ rule! I find it really calming.

Ovaltine/Horlicks. Whatever the malty milk one is (not chocolatey.)

I also found a peanut butter powdered drink in the hot chocolate area which is a bit different. I'm a fan of peanut butter but wasn't sure of this but other people might like it more than me.

If you get a bunch of different things you can mix it up a bit so it doesn't get boring.

Plain old warm milk is nice and comforting too.

Boiled water with a pinch of turmeric and a twist of black pepper. It's really good for you as well.

Horlicks is a bedtime drink!. I'd be drifting off if I had my Horlicks in the daytime .

Bovril, Or a chicken or veg oxo cube

God I miss these! I used to drink chicken stock alll the time.
Potentially high salt though!

Op, what's wrong with decaf? I try to stick with it after a certain point in the day and would struggle to tell the difference (if I'm not paying much attention, if I really concentrate on the flavour I might be able to tell you which is which)
Which ones have you tried? I'm on kenco at the moment but move between that and gold blend depending on what's on offer.

Camp or dandelion coffee
