Fresh mint tea

I don’t know if this is an alternative exactly as it’s still tea but it tastes very different from say English or breakfast etc - Chai tea!

I make it on the stove with black tea bags, lots of milk and spices.

Also turmeric tea which I make with turmeric, milk and Cinammon and honey (no tea bags)

There’s also Horlicks . Not a fan myself but it’s there lol

Hot chocolate, herbal teas and chai lattes. Some people like hot squash (Ribena - original or winter spiced - with hot water is amazing!)

I get the mulled fruit drink from Ikea - it's like a non alcohol mulled wine. I make it with half a glass/mug of the fruit drink, slice of orange and top it up with freshly boiled hot water. It can be a bit on the sharp side so you can add half a brown sugar cube or a shot of gingerbread syrup or do 1/3 fruit drink to 2/3 hot water to take the sharp tang off. It's my favourite hot winter drink so I buy two boxes of it when it appears in the food shop in November.
Ribena also do a winter spice version of their normal cordial which is great with hot water.

Hot mulled apple juice (with a swig of toffee vodka).

I would never ever drink tea and whilst I occasionally have a hot coffee, I prefer iced coffee.

I drink hot chocolate all year round and I also love a hot Vimto.

Marigold powder / hot water. It's a vegan vegetable bouillon.

Babymamamama · 06/12/2024 19:07

Turmeric latte. Or if you’re making it at home google goldenmilk. DD likes hot chai latte with one shot of vanilla.

Stickthakettleon · 06/12/2024 21:12

@fedup33 yes turmeric chai is definitely a thing.
I used to have a recipe for it but Stash brand tea makes a turmeric chai also, and I'm sure other tea companies.
It's easy to make your own though.
