Monday Inspiration: Soothing Hot Drinks

There is something about hot beverages: they're comforting somehow. They are warming, and they infuse some kind of peacefulness whenever I sit down with a steaming cup of tea, chocolate or anything of the sort.

A while ago my friend found one of the most awesome recipe ever: a butterbeer (latte) recipe! We tried it, and we were overwhelmed with the results! I thought I'd share it, since it was not very difficult at all, and, come on, it's butterbeer! 

It's has a very, very sweet taste ~ Almost a little too much in the end, but still! 

Other than that I'm currently looking for a good indian chai recipe to try out (I know I could just use tea bags, but I love the idea of boiling different spices and stuff together).

I still have yet to try this out, but it does look delicious! 

My current favorite things to do when I get home in the afternoon is to take a cup of "mocha coffee". I just take a cup, ad about 1-2 tea spoons of cocoa powder and some vanilla sugar (regular sugar works fine too) pour some coffee, stir it (otherwise the cocoa will get lumpy and stick to the bottom of the cup) and then I pour in the rest of the coffee. Lastly I ad some cream. Super simple (I usually cheat and use instant coffee, which is even simpler...)

What is your favorite hot drink this winter?
