Winter warmer
Hot drinks are a lifesaver at this time of year. OK, that might be a bit of an exaggeration, unless you are stuck in the snow in a broken-down car, but I could not imagine leaving the house on a cold winter’s morning without at least one piping hot cup of tea nestled in my tummy! I always make sure I treat myself to a few hot chocolates once the nights start drawing in too; made with milk, heated on the stove, of course, not sachets and hot water…
The best hot chocolates always come from coffee shops and cafés, where whipped cream and marshmallows come as standard. I usually do not have much time to pop out from the office to get one made, but over Christmas and New Year there is so little going on in the office that no-one even notices that my usual coffee break takes a little longer than usual. In fact, there are so few calls to be made and reports to be filed that last year my boss did not even mind that I spent most of Christmas Eve searching online for a plasterer Surrey who was willing to start work on January 2nd.
Aside from the yumminess of hot chocolate, there are lots of speciality teas and coffees available at this time of year. My local tea shop sells a great variety of “Christmas” teas, all flavoured with cinnamon and spices which give you a lovely cosy feeling as you drink. To be honest, tea and coffee aren’t the first drinks that spring to mind when it comes to Christmas Day – I’m usually more interested in the wine and amaretto that’s available on the 25th – but if you’re not a great drinker, then a spicy festive tea could be the way to go.
