Hot drinks around the world

[Bounceyflounceypouncey]

I’m in England where it’s ‘normal’ to drink hot chocolate, tea and coffee in a variety of flavours/styles. Obviously there are other hot drinks here but a cafe would serve these three as standard.

Do all countries drink these as ‘standard’?

What other hot drinks are the standard ones in other countries?

I lived in rural Portugal and most people drink espressos.

Tea would very rarely be drunk.

Fairly well travelled and I'd say regional variations on coffee and tea (I.e. chai, herbal, apple, very sweet and black, lots of chinese style teas etc as literally whole tea houses there) and coffee(,small, black, with condensed milk, european styles, espresso, filter, on the hob).. so basically tea and coffee. Hot chocolate varies to.
The only thing I've seen vaguely different is the tibetan butter tea.
I honestly cany think of anything else except perhaps hot juice or alcohol (like Gluwein or cocktails sort of things)

It's not many places have big mugs of drink like in UK.

Fresh mint tea is the norm in Morocco/other parts of North Africa.

I have a delicious hot apple, cinnamon and ginger combo at my local café.
In Chile, I loved being served a glass of hot milk with a big chunk of chocolate on the side and then watch it slowly blend with the milk.

This is interesting, thanks everyone! I’m definitely going to look up Tibetan butter tea and try a glass of hot milk with chocolate.

Helba is a popular hot winter drink in Egypt, made from fenugreek seeds. Also some people drink karkaday warm, which is made from hibiscus flowers and is very nice both hot and cold.

We have a tea and coffee station in my office. There is a kettle and a Turkish coffee machine. There are sachets of Nescafe, 3 in 1 Nescafe and cappuccino. There are teabags as follows: English breakfast, peppermint, camomile, lemon and ginger, green and mint, Earl Grey, Lipton and za'atar. There are vacuum jugs of karak chai and Arabic coffee (gawa). Each day there are 2 jugs of freshly squeezed juices (so fresh it's literally squeezed on site).

We also have a Lavazza coffee machine and a frozen yogurt machine - two different flavours, changed daily, and a row of bottled sauces. And a water dispenser. And bottled water.

It almost makes up for paying the toll and public parking every day!

We also have full time staff employed who keep this stocked up, refill the kettle, put bottles of water on desks and in meeting rooms, wash up any cups and mugs left on desks (they know whose is whose and they magically reappear in the morning) and go round offering to make drinks.

It certainly makes a change from putting £10/month in the office tea fund.

That sounds brilliant!

In Vietnam they drink coffee with condensed milk instead of milk :)
