As soon as October arrives, it seems that the world goes crazy for Pumpkin Spice Lattes. However, I’m going to be a controversial soul and tell you all that there is a hot drink that is better than that. Whilst I might be partial to a gingerbread latte, there is one that reigns above them all. The Chai Latte!

Filled with spices, warm milk, and the most amazing taste, it is the ultimate autumn/winter drink. If I dare say so! Whether made fresh or with a tea bag, you just can’t beat it. Yet, I know that I am speaking online for myself when I say this. There so, as we head into the colder months, I thought I would share some of the hot drinks I love to enjoy, keeping me warm, which you might like to experience.

Just take these one sip at a time...

Pukka Wild Apple & Cinnamon Tea: I love to enjoy this first thing in the morning. The fresh burst of apple and the warming cinnamon spice really set me up for the day and I can’t get enough of it.

Chai Lattes: Whether made fresh in a coffee shop or at home with a teabag, Chai Lattes remind me of winter. They smell like Christmas and if I could make a perfume from the scent I would. To me, this is the ultimate winter warmer!

Pukka Licorice & Peppermint Tea: Some people say that you shouldn’t have peppermint tea before bed. Yet, I like to enjoy it just before my dinner. Not as sweet as plain licorice or as fresh as peppermint, it is the perfect blend to end the day.

Ginger Tea: There are so many companies who have created the perfect ginger tea and for me, it is a great midday treat. Ginger is so warming and if you are a fan of gingerbread biscuits during the colder months than this tea just adds to it even more lovelies.

Cadbury’s Hot Chocolate: Grab the whipped cream, marshmallows, chocolate curls and your best hot chocolate mug and you have the perfect team to warm you up alongside a hot chocolate. For me, it must be made on the cooker, with milk and the Cadbury powder being a top choice. However, it is up to you which powder you use. The hot chocolate you have is the ultimate winner after all aha!

Costa Gingerbread Latte: Costa make the most perfect Gingerbread Latte! In fact, it was the place in which I discovered them, and I have been recommending them ever since. Plus, they come with a tiny gingerbread man too, which is always a huge bonus points winner!

Yorkshire Tea: A proper brew is a Yorkshire Tea! Milky, tea bag left in for just the right amount of time and the perfect mug, this is the tea to have whatever time of the day. Don’t get me wrong I do love a Tetley or a PG Tips brew too, but Yorkshire Tea will always come out on top.

These warming drinks make me so happy during the colder month’s lovelies. Many of them can be enjoyed at home and our so easy to make. Right now, whilst writing this post, I have a podcast on, and a cup of peppermint and licorice and I’ve never felt calmer.

I would love to know what warm drinks you love to enjoy during the colder months’ lovelies, as I am always looking to try something new that warms the soul! Let me know in the comments below ❤️
