Holiday Drinks: Peppermint Mocha, London Fog Tea Latte & Salted Cashew Hot Chocolate

Time for all the warm drinks: can I offer you a Peppermint Mocha, London Fog Tea Latte, or a Salted Cashew Hot Chocolate? It’s a cold winter day – maybe it’s snowing outside, or you can hear the pitter-patter of rain against your roof as you snuggle in your blankets. If you’re lucky, maybe you’re next to a roaring fireplace, too. What would make things better? A hot, cozy drink. Always. There’s nothing I love more than the feeling of my hands being warmed around a mug by warm cocoa, a tea latte, or a special coffee on a chilly morning or starry night. It perfectly embodies the coziness we all crave during these darker winter months.

Whichever drink you pick, I hope it makes your day better, your heart happy, and warms you from the inside out! Or, maybe you’ll have the peppermint mocha in the morning, London fog tea latte in the afternoon, and salted cashew hot chocolate for dessert!
