Ah, winter: a time for ice skating, picking out a tree and playing in the snow. Or for those of us who like to stay indoors when it’s cold, there’s nothing like a warm drink and a good book (or Netflix) to beat those cold weather blues. Here are seven simple recipes to warm you up:
1. Gingerbread Latte
Espresso + cinnamon + ginger = your coffee dreams come true.
2. Mexican Hot Chocolate
Add a kick to your basic hot cocoa with a pinch of cayenne pepper.
3. Chai Tea Latte
You can do the first step of this recipe in your coffeepot! Easy and delicious? Yes, please.
4. Peppermint Hot Chocolate
This cocoa has actual peppermint sticks melted in it. Martha Stewart, you are a goddess.
5. Pumpkin Pie Milkshake
PUMPKIN PIE CHUNKS BLENDED RIGHT IN. YAAASS QUEEN.
*cold weather drink for those of us who have tropical winters
6. Orange Spiced Apple Cider
You pretty much just have to stick everything in a pot aka more time for Netflix.
7. Boozy Eggnog
Leave out the brandy for a non-alcoholic version. Or don’t!
Happy Holidays, collegiettes!
