Winter is here, which means it’s time to curl up with a warm drink and a snug blanket.
In the same way that we all enjoy a cup of hot cocoa during the winter months, you’re undoubtedly a big lover of winter-themed coffee. Going to a coffee shop and getting yourself a peppermint latte is one of life’s simple pleasures, and it’s hard to imagine anything better.
What if I told you that you could brew such opulent coffee concoctions yourself? And it’ll save you money, be healthy, and taste even better.
This week, we’ve rounded together a few easy-to-brew and delicious-tasting winter healthy coffee alternatives. With a cup of hot coffee, you can start your day off well and get into the holiday mood.
Get the coffee going before we get started. All of these wintery dishes rely heavily on it. In order to keep the other flavors from overpowering the coffee, the strength of the coffee is necessary.
This advice is based on genuine experiences. They tested out the pumpkin spiced latte made by a member of our team. There were some little issues, but overall it was a great experience. Latte flavor was significantly transformed by the addition of pumpkin, and the coffee and pumpkin taste great together.
Let’s take a gander at a few of them.
Coffee with White Pepper and Cinnamon Syrup
If you’re going to make this recipe, you better be a fan of spiced rum coffee. Cracking and straining, and cooking are all involved. Some of the nicest delights I’ve prepared in the kitchen, on the other hand, required a lot of time and patience on my part. Furthermore, what else can you do when cooped up in your house, attempting to avoid the cold weather?
Peppermint Mocha Frappe
You can still spread holiday happiness even if the weather is cooling down with an iced peppermint mocha frappe. If you’d prefer to savor this rich, creamy dessert at a later date, you may prepare it ahead of time. For the delicious or tasty coffee, you must combine strong dark roast hot coffee with chocolate syrup as well as add ice cubes and peppermint essence in a food processor, but don’t forget to add milk in it. Adding sugar and a little bit of additional milk to the ice cubes in the blender can help mix the flavors.
Add some whipped cream and crushed peppermints to your frappe, and if you’re feeling very festive, throw in a candy cane.
Gingerbread Latte
Gingerbread is one of the best ways to celebrate the season. Nutmeg, ginger, and molasses flavor this decadent latte, which is sure to warm your heart as well as your taste senses. You’ll need a few spices from your spice closet for this one. But it’s worth it since you’ll want to drink this gingerbread latte every day this season.
Eggnog Shooter
The combination of coffee, eggnog, nutmeg, and whipped cream will keep you warm and energized at the same time. It’s the perfect drink for you and your loved ones to enjoy during your Christmas gatherings. To be clear, this is a drink you’ll want to hold off on consuming until you’re no longer driving.
Marshmallow-Flavoured Hot Chocolate
Having a cup of hot chocolate after coming in from the cold was the best way to warm yourself up as a youngster. A sumptuous cup of coffee could be just the thing for someone who’s gotten too old for plain old hot chocolate anymore. Adding marshmallow cream and cinnamon to your hot chocolate is as simple as combining it with your favorite drink. You’ll soon be whisked away to a place called Heaven if you sip your drink in front of a blazing fire.
Noggaccino
As if the thought of eggnog paired with coffee wasn’t enough to get us to visit, we were reminded of one thing about the coffee shop Menotti’s: It’s a well-known fact that these baristas and brewers know their stuff. As for their Noggaccino, it has enough passion and complexity to make even the most ardent capp aficionados sip a little longer.
Festive Peppermint Coffee For The Holidays
Peppermint, like candy canes, is synonymous with the holiday season, so it only makes sense that the flavor reminds us of the season. Those peppermint-flavored coffees are why we adore them! The only thing better is how refreshing and minty it smells as you drink it.
Mint White Hot Chocolate
Has the notion of a creamy, mint-flavored chocolate drink been on your mind for the entire time you’ve been browsing, but milk chocolate isn’t your favorite sort of chocolate? This white chocolate version from The Gracious Wife, on the other hand, is sure to be a hit with you if you want something different. Although their recipe does not explicitly call for coffee, you can transform almost anything into a delectable coffee beverage by adding a shot of espresso to it.
Creme Brulee Latte
With the addition of caramel and cinnamon, you’ll have a fragrant and festive drink that will be difficult to refuse. First and foremost, you’ll need to prepare a strong shot of espresso in order to produce a crème Brulee latte. Then, pour the coffee into a saucepan along with some milk and heat it over medium heat, constantly stirring, until it begins to boil. Once the mixture has reached a frothy consistency, put in the caramel sauce and vanilla extract or syrup and combine well; for a delicious finish, don’t forget to add some whipped cream and additional caramel sauce to the top. For an extra sweet treat!
Chestnut Praline Latte
Even though this coffee beverage is sometimes neglected, it has a devoted following for a good reason. Chestnuts have a distinct winter aroma and flavor, and infusing them with chocolate and espresso creates the most appropriate combination for the time of year. And it doesn’t have to be challenging to put together. To make your Eldorado coffee, all you have to do is choose a chestnut praline syrup that you like, heat the syrup with milk (of your choice) in a saucepan, and pour the mixture into your cup of coffee. Blend it until it has a velvety consistency in a blender, and you’re done!
Torani chestnut praline syrup is a favorite of ours since it contains notes of caramel, chestnut, and praline, and it isn’t excessively sweet, which we appreciate. You may, however, go online or to your local food store to locate a chestnut praline syrup that suits your needs and tastes great.
Apple Cider Chai Latte
Are you a chocolate or mocha lover at special times of the year? But you are not that much aware of what to make and have during the holidays or winters. No doubt, there are certain other seasonal flavors that everyone loves too much to have due to which coffee and tea don’t get enough attention in the world. So, as we already said, if you are a coffee or chocolate lover, this apple cider chai latte is one of the best options for you.
Final Words
We all know the winter season is a time of festivals, enjoyment, rest, and relaxation. Don’t ruin your special nights in the cold season; you must go with certain flavors of coffee. You can get knowledge about different coffee flavors from the points mentioned earlier.
