Kareni Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I've never cared much for hot coffee (though I'd eat coffee ice cream any day), hot tea, or chai. I do enjoy hot chocolate and, once in a while, I'll make a drink with black currant syrup and hot water. I don't care to drink plain hot water or bouillon. Since I don't care for the taste of alcohol, hot toddies are not an option. Please expand my horizons -- what other hot drinks do you enjoy?

jewellsmommy Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hot apple cider. Or just a good quality apple juice, add a little cinnamon and heat. Simply Apple in the refridg. section is really good hot. ETA: warm milk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeganCupcake Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I've been drinking Crio Bru lately. It's roasted cocoa beans that you brew like you would coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pqr Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Turkish apple tea (do not confuse this with tea it is very different) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternalknot Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I love tea, hot water w/lemon or honey, and broth so I wasn't sure what else to suggest until I remembered that my husband (who shares most of your dislikes) does like barley tea. It doesn't taste like "regular" tea, and it was still something that took a small bit of time for him to become okay with. He never drank it at my house (we drank it cold) but he was too polite to refuse it as a guest of others (we lived overseas and were frequent dinner guests) (where we lived, it was more commonly served hot, which he preferred). There's always warm milk? My grandmother sometimes gave us hot soy milk with sugar, and I know many Americans IRL who offer their kids warm milk before bedtime. You could flavor it a million different ways beyond sugar, too - check out capella flavor drops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helena Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 We also drink a lot of broth. I do the first half of a mild tortilla soup recipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 What about herbals? There's no tea in them. I've been drinking a lot of honey chamomile lately. Have you tried green or white teas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Kareni Since I hate coffee I've had to be creative. I enjoy steamers - steamed milk with flavor, or tea lattes. I'm also a tea lover, so that helps. Perhaps you should explore different kinds of tea, there are so many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GailV Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Warm Natural Calm is yummy in the evening. Oh, a friend of mine used to drink this, and I couldn't remember what it was called! Thanks so much for mentioning it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helena Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Oh, a friend of mine used to drink this, and I couldn't remember what it was called! Thanks so much for mentioning it! I've only recently discovered adding warm water instead of cold. It took a nice drink to a whole other level! It's way better warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried green or white teas? :iagree: There are a million flavors out there, so you could find just about anything you might want. I've been drinking Tulsi honey chamomile too. I also just bought Tazo Wild Orange (or something like that) and it's too citrus-y for me, but maybe I'm letting it steep too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinder Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Like broth -- miso soup! :001_smile: Yummmmm! While I'm a coffee drinker I also enjoy herbal teas. After much experimenting I've discovered I don't care for the fruity types--too sweet for me. I like mint tea even though I don't like mint flavor in other things; cookies, candy. Kroger has a lemon mint that is good. I'm also currently enjoying Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Green Lemon Jasmine as well as Lipton White Tea Blueberry and Pomegranate which is light on the fruity sweetness. Occasionally I'll even have hot water with some ground ginger and a squeeze of lime or lemon. Have fun exploring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivka Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Herbal tea. I like peppermint (but definitely not spearmint) or ginger tea. Steamed milk with a shot of Torani syrup. I like raspberry or cinnamon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Occasionally I'll even have hot water with some ground ginger and a squeeze of lime or lemon. Have fun exploring! That reminds me, for a while last fall I was doing hot water with turmeric, ginger, and other warm spices, a bit of maple syrup, and then something creamy to top it off. Then I realized that I was having a reaction to the turmeric, so I stopped the entire concept until the itching subsided. And then forgot about trying it without the turmeric. But the point is, you can mix up your own special blend. I was thinking of chai, but without the tea, when I was experimenting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Herbal teas? I like lemon and ginger. Fresh honey and lemon is good (just lemon juice with a spoonful of honey). Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I like hot milk with a tablespoon of plain old malt powder in it: http://www.google.com/imgres?q=malt+powder&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1294&bih=543&tbm=isch&tbnid=GiU0t3BRSxkU2M:&imgrefurl=http://www.cookiemadness.net/2008/08/triple-malt-chocolate-cake/&docid=VfKfUuleVGt2lM&imgurl=http://www.cookiemadness.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/malted-milk-car.jpg&w=500&h=500&ei=RZAcT8-gHc_ciQKvrNzJCA&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=421&vpy=221&dur=470&hovh=225&hovw=225&tx=130&ty=115&sig=111377293144475674155&page=1&tbnh=109&tbnw=109&start=0&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0 Add a little brown sugar to sweeten it, and mix it so that it's frothy on top!

Ali in OR Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I like vanilla steamers. At home I fake it by heating milk in the microwave and then adding a Tbs or 2 of Torani's vanilla syrup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 My mom likes hot water poured over a fresh lemon wedge. I have a ginger drink that I like, it is ginger crystals. Other syrups if you like black current. Ligonberry or other concentrates from ikea is good with hot water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareni Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Thank you all for responding; my horizons truly have been expanded! I will be investigating some of these possibilities soon.

laundrycrisis Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Hot apple cider. Hot milk with vanilla. If you add pumpkin pie spice, it tastes a little like hot eggnog. A spoonful of strawberry jello mix powder in hot water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
