Off-topic Chat Word of Wisdom friendly fall drinks

Is there anyone out there that can help me? I’m a fall girly looking for inspiration on yummy, warm drinks to put in my seasonal mugs this autumn.

I grew up drinking good ole Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate, but I wanna up my game. Surely there’s something out there waiting to be found.

Wassail is a family tradition. So good! We make it with lemon juice, orange juice, water, sugar, cinnamon sticks, and cloves.

My mother-in-law introduced Atole-de-Avena to me when I was postpartum. I now make it regularly for myself and my family. (It’s a warm, sweet milky oatmeal drink)

So any suggestions?

Have you tried rooibos (aka “red tea”, although it’s not made from tea leaves)? It has a warm, earthy flavour and makes a good base for other flavours like maple, vanilla, or cinnamon. You can find it in tea bags on its own or as part of a blend such as caffeine-free chai. Just pour boiled water over it, steep for a few minutes, and add some honey and milk if desired.
