Keeping warm Reader, is the number one priority during the colder months, so I tend to prepare plenty of home made hot beverages to choose from for any occasion and mood.

But Reader, did you already managed to sign up for the free Natural Christmas Letters to prep your Christmas time naturally, with less waste and stress?

We are starting on the first Tuesday of November until Christmas, so if you still want to get on board just click here.

But back to the steaming hot beverages - we need something to warm us these chilly days!

When feeling Nordic, I totally trust the Nordic spicy drink recipes for hot glogg.

Gloggs are mainly considered heavy with alcohol and called generally as mulled wines, but we do make and drink them a lot as alcohol-free versions too!

Whether made from cranberry, apple, elder flower or hibiscus the glogg is the ultimate warm and spicy beverage against the cold!

In our family we do not especially enjoy any alcohol so I have already for years made our glogg totally virgin. Like this white glogg made from apple juice.

​Apple glögg, a white glogg, is a perfect choice if you don't prefer berry flavors and would like to have a lighter style of glogg. This recipe uses whole fennel seeds and cardamom and gets its light punch from the bitter lemon peel powder. ​ Get recipe

On the other hand, thanks to my Moroccan husband, I tend to trust the power of the sweet Moroccan Mint Tea and make ahead Moroccan Spiced Coffee Mix to store in the pantry.

Moroccan spiced coffee has a beautiful warm spice combination with some fennel, nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom, and black pepper to name a few. ​ Get recipe

Another thing to prep ahead easily of is the Homemade Dark Hot Chocolate Mix for any kind of hot chocolate emergencies.

It is a beautiful gift as well!

I have gathered for you in the Beverages Category plenty of flavourful things to sip for any occasion. If you want to have more inspiration on hot ones, click on my Hot drinks for cold times Pinterest Board for find your ultimate cold time favorite.
