The thought of drinking a warm drink straight out of bed in winters is comforting and the best way to stay warm when the season is chilly. The aroma and taste of hot coffee not only help us in staying warm in winters. But it also is a great way to have a gala time with friends and family. In Australia, winters come when the Northern hemisphere is enjoying summers, so for all Aussies out there, get your Nespresso pods out and brew these excellent winter coffee drinks.
There are multiple ways you can use coffee in the desert as well for winters. However, the warmth and coziness you experience after drinking coffee are unmatchable. Also, you can make it healthy or a decadent treat to enjoy the best of the cold weather.
Here are 7 coffee drinks that you must try in winters.
1. Butterscotch caramel coffee
Brew a strong cup of coffee and add butterscotch and caramel to brew this heavenly winter connotation. It is a super-simple recipe and a warm drink that you will have a hard time resisting. It has both alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions, so it will keep everyone happy.
2. Salted caramel mocha latte
Salted Caramel Coffee is always great when it comes to drinking anything other than espresso. The frothed milk increases the richness of coffee, even though the froth/foam in it is less than a cappuccino. Do you not have a frother? Here are a few ways to froth milk at home.
Now imagine the deliciousness you enjoy from a regular latte. Add caramel and chocolate with a bit of salt to enjoy a coffee that is 100 times more pleasant than the daily latte. It is a low-carb recipe, and you can use natural sweeteners to make it even healthier.
3. Gingerbread latte
For someone, who usually drinks black coffee or espresso, it is quite a savory and delicious treat that you need to try this winter. It sounds like a lot. However, it uses only a few ingredients, like coffee, spices, milk, and sugar to whip up gingerbread latte, which is, like drinking Christmas in a cup.
With this drink, you have numerous options to make it heartier, like adding gingerbread cookies or sprinkles. Unquestionably, you can enjoy this latte without any extra toppings, but if you drink such treats once in a while, have it to enjoy it to the fullest.
4. White chocolate coffee
Chocolate can add richness to coffee and make it a decadent dish. We all have tried coffee with dark chocolate once, most probably at our local Starbucks. However, white chocolate coffee is something that you may not have tried. It is quite a sweet coffee drink. So, you do not need to add extra sugar to it.
Just warm up some milk with white chocolate and pour your freshly brewed pod coffee in it and enjoy it. Add a scoop of whipped cream to it to make it a treat for winter.
5. Peppermint spiced latte
Why go to Starbucks to try this delicious connotation in winter when you can make it at home? Trying this drink on a specially chilled morning ensures that you stay warm while saving money and calories by not driving to your local Starbucks.
The goodness of peppermint in this latte makes it hearty, rich, and warm. It is a perfect drink for after-meals or to enjoy before bed at night.
6. Irish coffee
The Irish undoubtedly love their whiskey. This classic coffee is the perfect winter drink as it has coffee and whiskey, two components that can keep you warm long enough. It is not a coffee drink for the faint heart. Apart from whiskey, you can load it with few spices like nutmeg or pepper.
7. Mocha coconut frappuccino
Love coconut milk and everything coconut? Then, you will unquestionably love this frappuccino with the added richness of chocolate. Coconut milk and natural sugar along with dark chocolate makes this drink healthier and delicious.
