This delicious beverage is traditionally made with terebinth fruits, which are related to pistachios. This version is made with coffee and sweetened with dates, which gives it a deep caramel flavor. The pistachios give it a mildly nutty flavor and a creamy consistency without using dairy. Blending it on high gives it a foamy top, like a cappuccino.
Horchata is a refreshing beverage enjoyed in Spain and other parts of the world. It is often made with tiger nuts, jicaro, melon or sesame seeds, or white rice, but sometimes, it is made with dairy. This version uses almonds and has a delicious, mildly spiced flavor with a light sweetness provided by dates. It’s the perfect drink to beat the summer heat!
Zobo is a Nigerian drink made with zobo leaves (a type of hibiscus), pineapple, and ginger. It has a zingy, sour/tart flavor that is highlighted by the sweetness and is deliciously refreshing. The ruby red color is a beautiful bonus! We used dried hibiscus flowers, which can be found in the bulk department.
This tea is easy, flavorful, and will give your immune system a boost! It’s delicious, both hot and cooled, with a spiced, sweet flavor! It’s the perfect drink for cooler fall weather.
Matcha is a powdered green tea from Japan with a beautiful color and an earthy, fresh flavor. It’s concentrated, so it has a lot of health benefits, like antioxidants and enhanced brain functions. This matcha drink is perfect for a hot summer day. Refreshing, cooling, and delicious. You can use cow milk or whatever alternative you like, and sweetener is an option, too.
With cranberries and citrus in season, this drink is ideal for the holiday season. It’s tart, sweet, subtly spiced, and is great on a cold holiday afternoon. It’s also a good option for the kiddos while the adults enjoy spiked eggnog or wassail.
The name Wassail might sound familiar to you from the term “wassailing” as in “Here we go a-wassailing.” Wassail is actually a type of mulled drink, usually made with cider, spices, and sometimes brandy. It was an integral part of the ancient English Yuletide tradition of Wassailing. People would go door to door, spreading charity and good cheer while sharing bowls of Wassail, thus ensuring a bountiful apple harvest for the following year. In recent years, Wassail has been making a comeback as a spiced fruit punch (again sometimes with brandy). Steaming cups of Wassail can give your holiday celebration a Medieval touch, and the scent of apple and spices will fill your home with cheer!
This delicious hot chocolate with a twist is soothing, mildly sweet, and warms you right down to your toes! It’s perfect for an evening in front of the fire.
This kind of hot chocolate is a popular part of Peruvian Christmas festivities. In fact, the name for gatherings in which families get together and exchange gifts, drink hot chocolate, and eat sweet bread is called Chocolatadas. Usually, this drink would be made with sweetened condensed and sometimes even butter. Some people make it so thick that a spoon could almost stand upright in the cup. This version is a vegan alternative and is perfect for Christmas morning, or maybe Christmas Eve night, while snuggled up by the fire.
