This Winter, Keep Yourself Warm With These 10 Incredibly Healthy & Delicious Hot Drinks

Winter is the season of fuzzy sweaters, festivities and staying in the blanket. But more than anything, winter is a rather cold season which is also the time we get down with colds. It is very important to protect ourselves from all that cold and what better than a steaming hot beverage. It is very important to know which drink isn’t just good for the palette but will also make you feel warm, fuzzy inside.
 

 
 

Hence, we got you a list of 9 beverages that will help you keep warm this chilly winter:
 
1. Spiced Milk
 
Even our mothers have told us about the importance of  this one as kids. The important ingredient here is the turmeric but add some cinnamon, black pepper and ginger to enhance the taste. It won’t just be a nice, warm drink to have but having a glass of spiced milk regularly can actually boost your immunity and make you healthier.
 
 
2. Masala Chai
 
There is no fixed recipe for this classic drink and every family has its own rendition. The base ingredients however remain as milk, sugar, cardamom, and ginger. The warmth that masala chai offers is one that has stood its ground over time and generations, with its aromatic familiarity and timeless power to soothe the mood. You could take “mathi” or cookies with it to make the experience even more fulfilling.
 
 
3. Hot Chocolate
 
The richness and creaminess of a warm cup of hot chocolate is more often than not a winter no brainier. There are multiple ways to concoct a delicious cuppa but the classic way involves shaved chocolate, melted chocolate or cocoa powder, heated milk or water, and usually a sweetener. Hot chocolate could be topped with whipped cream or marshmallows to add a dash of flamboyance and taste. A nicely done cup of hot chocolate will not only give you that much needed warmth but the flavanol in the chocolate will uplift your spirits and get you in that Christmas mood.
 
 
4. Ginger Honey Lemon Tea
 
Winter comes with its own troubles; from soar throat to a runny nose, the cold can really cause some serious discomfort. A steaming hot cup of ginger honey lemon tea however can do trick. Ginger’s warmth coupled with the lemon and honey infused steam will not only give your body heat but clear your sinuses and soothe the throat while it’s at it. So, keep some fresh ginger, water, lemon juice and honey handy to start feeling better already.
 
 
5. Pear and Cinnamon Almond Milk
 
Are you Looking for a lovely drink to serve, perfect for sipping while snuggling under blankets or sitting by a fire? Well, look no further because a nicely blended mixture of the pear, almond milk, and sprinkles of cinnamon will give your body warmth along with an explosion of flavour to make your day.
 
 
 

 
 

6. Hot Tea toddy
 
Hot tea Toddy is a classic hot drink and it is very simple to make. Traditionally made with alcohol, it is just as warm in nature even without it. The exciting part is that you can have your own signature hot tea toddy without any liquor in it. Besides from being a winter classic, this drink can help with runny nose and irritation in the throat as well. Add some honey, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and a squeeze of lemon for the perfect concoction.
 
 
7. Mexican Hot Chocolate
 
There is probably no better drink to warm you up than traditional Mexican hot chocolate. A chilly winter has nothing on a hand-frothed cup full of chocolate, milk, cinnamon sticks and warmth. The texture on this one may not be as smooth as the traditional hot chocolate but the magic is still there. In fact, if you're looking for a slightly more thick texture to comfort your soul, this one is perfect for you.
 
 
8. Non-alcoholic Mulled Wine
 
This classic cold remedy is also a comforting drink during the winter season. A combination of pomegranate juice, blackberries, cinnamon and cloves can give you the warmth and rich flavour that you will crave for time and again. Remember to let the spices infuse in the concoction and use a heat resistant glass to serve.
 
 
9. Nutmeg and Orange Coffee
 
This post dinner drink is a timeless winter specialty. A beautiful blend of coffee, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and orange zest will leave you with a big smile on your face and help you get into the zone for the festivities to come.
 
 
10. Turmeric Milk
 
We've all heard about the benefits of this one as kids and it is also pretty easy to make. Add turmeric and cardamom to milk. Heat it and drink it. Try to take this one daily because it doesn't just taste good but also keeps you immune to cold. That's why a lot of people in foreign countries often refer to it as 'golden milk'. Add a little honey instead of sugar to enhance the flavor. The best protection against all the cold is a cup of haldi ka doodh.
 
 
Keep yourself warm!
