What I Love About Warm Drinks in the Winter

Here you will find simple recipes for warm drinks ranging from tea to lattes, healthful hot toddies, mulled cider, hot cocoa, mocktails, and more, perfect for a cold winter day.

For me, I can't tell you how many afternoons are spent walking around my kitchen with a cup of hot water. I love my winter teas and morning lattes, but sometimes even a steaming cup of warm water will do the trick.

These recipes are decidedly more delicious than warm water!

Why Are Warm Drinks Comforting?

You know that moment when you first nestle a warm beverage into your hands on a chilly day? It's a moment of euphoria for me. A moment when the world seems right again and hope springs new that my fingers will actually warm up.

Warm drinks are cups of happiness that brighten your mood, soothe aches and heartaches, are instant relaxers, and are a delightful welcome home. As The Guardian wrote, "Warm drink softens the pace of life."

As it turns out, warm drinks are more than just a feeling.

Research from Yale University and the University of Colorado suggests that "physical warmth and emotional warmth are linked. In fact, the temperature of the drink you're holding could influence your feelings of trust and tenderness toward the people around you."
