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?

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

Same with hot apple juice heated with a cinnamon stick

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

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 :)

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.

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?

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!

Whittards even!

Milo is nice.

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

What about a chai latte?

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

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

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?

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

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.

Good old celestial seasonings

Sleep tea- fair trade one is fab

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!)

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?

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

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