A Coffee Shop Right at Home

I know that whenever I get off the bus, the only thing I want to do is cuddle up in a fuzzy blanket by the fire with a warm winter drink in my hand. When I think of winter drink the first thing that comes to mind is hot chocolate. And as much as I love hot chocolate it will get pretty old day after day. So with this post I will show you some yummy alternatives for a warm winter drink. After reading this it will be like having a coffee shop right in your kitchen.

1. For the first drink, I'm going to start with one with a little spice, a chai tea latte. You can buy the product at the the store, which makes it quick and easy. Just mix is fifty fifty with milk, heat it up and your good to go. If you want to add a little twist, add a touch of vanilla or a dash of cinnamon. I can't make it through winter without this toasty treat.

2. Secondly is hot chocolate. I love it because while you can go with traditional milk chocolate, you can also have so many different kinds such as: Mexican, carmel, white, dark, peppermint, and more.  There are so many kinds do can have a different one each day.

3. My third is for the coffee lovers. Because well, who doesn't love a good latte. And it's a really easy one to make. Just brew a pot of coffee, and get your favorite creamer to go along with it.  Lastly finish off with a frother, if you have one. If not, it's not a big deal, your latte will still be delicious.

4. Fourth is a traditional warm drink, tea! Tea is probably to easiest one to make. Just get a kettle and your favorite kind of tea and your set. And with so many choices, you can't go wrong. Early Grey, Green, Peppermint, etc. Add some honey and enjoy!

5. Lastly is for the people who don't like coffee, tea, or chocolate. I don't know why you wouldn't, but there is another option for you. A simple steamer. Warm some milk, add your favorite flavoring, and froth away. It's simply scrumptious!

There are many variations to can make to each one of these drinks, whether you simply want some more flavoring or want to make it a seasonal sensation. My favorite brand of flavoring is a syrup called Torani. It comes in such a variety of flavors you can find anything! They even have a sugar-free line. Using these syrups, you can create your own drinks, maybe even one day you'll have one named after you.

These drinks will save you some trips to the coffee shop and hopefully some money too. Enjoy!
