Do you have a favorite warm-up drink?

It's 62 degrees here in my kitchen and even though I'm fixing dinner, I'm freezing!

I love Irish coffee, but that's going to be served after dinner. I need something now!

Any suggestions?

to make a broth to sip. Beef, chicken, clam. They're all good. Not bullion cubes. I get the base at the restaurant supply store.

I know a lot of people don't like herbal teas, but I can't do caffeine after noon because of my insomnia.

Make my own.

2% (or better, whole) milk
dutch process cocoa
cinnamon
sugar.

May not be the healthiest thing ever, but you can get it really hot in the microwave and it warms you right up!

with a cinnamon stick.

Hot chocolate. I make my own mix with stevia, cocoa, and I use marshmallows and whipped cream on occasion.

Hot milk can be quite delicious to sip.

Spicy chai with 1/2 and 1/2 and agave.
