Three Warm Winter Drinks, Cheerio!!

Almost all of us enjoy drinking hot drinks in the winter. İn this article, I will talk about three hot drinks that will both warm our heart and sweeten our difficult days.

1.SAHLEP

Sahlep is a delicious Turkish drink, but it would be unfair to call it just a drink, it also plays a big role in making ice cream. It is used to give the consistency of Maraş ice cream. In addition, I would like to mention that the powdered form of Orchid onions is sahlep.

(Orchid Onions)

It is easy to find the original form of sahlep, but because it is a valuable product, you can find it in the form of powder packaged with instant sugar in Turkish markets and mix it with hot milk. I would also like to point out that, if you come to Turkey for the winter, ready-boiled state you can find everywhere (including street vendors).(Are Dairy Products Essential for Our Health?)

When it is prepared, sahlep and sugar are mixed and slowly poured into the boiling milk until it reaches a consistency and served with cinnamon.

2.HOT CHOCOLATE (HEALTHY)

Now, hot chocolate, one of our favorite things, is a drink that is indispensable in winter days, but because it is calorie, we cannot always consume it. The hot chocolate recipe that I will give now is both traditional and the kind that we can consume with peace of mind.

İngredients:

• 1tbsp Cocoa powder
• 2 pieces of dark chocolate
• 1tsp cayenne (Don’t worry, this is the important ingredient for both health and taste.)
• 2tsp cinnamon
• 1 glass of milk
• 1 or 2 tbsp molasses ( you can use any sweetener you want.)

Combine all the ingredients in a pot and boil it! I hope you will like it

3.HERBAL AND FRUİT TEA

I don’t want to give a specific recipe in this title, we can brew the fruits and herbal teas you want, but I want to leave my favorite green tea with pineapple here as a suggestion.

I hope you will try the recipes and like their taste, if I could warm you up a little while reading, lucky me!
