It’s finally here, my favorite time of year, cozy drink season! I’ll be pouring myself at least one a day from now until spring, thank you.

I love to cradle a steaming hot mug of something delicious in my hands when it’s cold outside ~ it warms me, lowers my blood pressure, and centers me in the here and now. All the other stuff swirling around in my brain fades. It’s what hygge* is all about.
*Hyyge (hoo-geh) is the Danish concept of cosiness ~ it means comfort, happiness… a life in balance. Warm socks are hygge. Candles are hygge. The company of good friends is hygge. Hot drinks are totally hygge!
hot chocolate – the ultimate cozy drink!
I love hot chocolate not only because of the obvious (chocolate!!), but because of how versatile a drink it is. There are so many different styles of hot chocolate, ranging from totally decadent to relatively wholesome, and so many different ways to play with flavors.






mulled drinks
Mulling is an age-old way to infuse beautiful cozy flavor into everything from wine to cider or pomegranate juice. I love using whole spices in the kitchen – it makes for a beautiful and tactile experience that we should all experience at least once in the winter months.
