The Modernista
A tasty alternative to hot chocolate
Categories: Food & Drink

I am a cold-natured person. The minute summer is over I get cold. I’m always bundled up in thick socks and electric blankies, and I carry space heaters from room to room around the house. I’ll also take a couple of hot baths a day, just to keep the circulation going in my feet. One of my other keep-warm solutions is to sip hot beverages. I love hot chocolate, but I usually make it with milk and Hershey’s syrup, so it’s high in fat, not vegan, and doesn’t even contain any of the health properties of cocoa. Sometimes I’ll also drink hot cider or hot apple juice, but that’s pretty high in sugar. I’ve mentioned before that I’m a fan of pomegranate tea, but during the holidays I like to switch it up. I really likeĀ Republic of Tea’s Hot Apple Cider Tea. It has apples and a blend of herbs, and while I’m not sure there’s any actual tea in it, it’s a great seasonal beverage with a little honey or agave nectar. Head to your local Whole Foods or health store and pick up a canister today!
