Cool weather beverages
Now that the cool weather is here - what are some of your favorite "cool weather" beverages?
Of course I am a big tea drinker - but this is the season I drink more hot chocolate. Sometimes with marshmallows, sometimes with whipped cream, sometimes plain. What do you like?

Good question, mama- but to tell you the truth- I never got into the habit of drinking anything hot. Weird, I know. It's not that I dislike any of it- just rarely think to make it or order it anywhere... coffee, cocoa, hot tea, spiced cider- none of it. My two standbys are pretty much diet pepsi and water.

Hi Figgenbama,
Great recipe thanks for posting it! Hey we may live pretty close to you, I am in Rome, GA. Are you near Fort Payne? I love the area around DeSoto State Park, it is so pretty. My little one and I go over to a dude ranch just outside of the park and go horseback riding! That is such a nice area of Alabama, but I lived in South Alabama near Gulf Shores & Mobile for years! Welcome to our forum, Cathy

I have a whole cabinet full of tea so there is a lot of hot tea at my house this time of year. I do mulled wine for parties which is always a hit. Also I enjoy the occational hot buttered rum.
