Prompt:
“Hot chocolate is like a hug from the inside.”
Do you like hot chocolate, and what are your most favored hot drinks?


Oh, man. The better question is, what hot drink do I DISLIKE? The answer is none. Well, except maybe certain types of tea that I don't particularly care for. Even so, I might still drink them on a freezing cold day like today.

My favorite hot drink is usually a strong coffee with cream and sugar, or with a little flavored creamer. Hot chocolate is wonderful on snowy days, and I agree with the prompt quote that it is like a warm hug from the inside. Apple cider is great for the fall, and you can drink it hot or cold depending on the weather that day. I particularly like red raspberry leaf tea with honey for a caffeine free soothing beverage, or honey lavender herbal tea for bedtime. For black tea, I love Earl Grey or a nice English Breakfast blend.
