Winter is fast approaching and is the time when you can bundle up in your warm clothes, and get comfortable on your couch with a warm and aromatic mug of coffee. Here are five specialty coffee-based beverages to try this winter.
While there is a huge hype around Christmas and coffee flavors, there are plenty of other different and delicious flavors to sample instead of just the more conventional flavors such as pumpkin spice, mint, or gingerbread. With the combinations of milk rose water, pistachio paste, and expresso, a mug of rose and pistachio flavored coffee is guaranteed to send your coffee senses on an unforgettable adventure.
Among the top specialty coffee beverages to sample include the holiday blends, which are typically only available during certain seasons. Usually, these blends are a combination of aromatic beans with a nutty flavor, and are guaranteed to transform your regular cup of coffee into something special! Coffee lovers don't necessarily have to resort to buying holiday blends from the store. It's quite easy to create your own coffee blends at home with a Moka pot in Sri Lanka from brands such as Fits Retail if you are keen on spicing up your daily morning brew.
There is something luxurious and quintessentially Christmas about white chocolate, that figures on the more traditional side of the winter season. This is a great drink to enjoy on a winter morning with the fresh peppermint invigorating your senses, while also offering a sense of warmth and comfort. This type of latte combines fresh peppermint and delicious white chocolate flavors with bitter espresso. If you happen to wake up to a dreary winter morning opt for this drink to cheer yourself up.
Nothing ushers in the season festivities than eggnog, especially when it comes to coffee. Popular coffee chains around the world, offer their own versions of eggnog flavored coffee, during the winter season. To put your own twist on your average morning cup of coffee, simply add a generous helping of eggnog syrup to your morning cuppa. If you are keen to break the routine, consider adding a few spoons of eggnog syrup to a cup of hot chocolate come evenings.
Nothing marks the arrival of fall than the rolling out of the pumpkin spice latte. One of the most quintessential flavours of winter, your typical pumpkin spice latte will feature a combination of cloves, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice. An ideal pumpkin spice latte will have the perfect amount of caffeine without the overly bitter taste of coffee.
A Christmas cookie latte is truly a treat especially during those cold and dark winter days when you need something simple yet delicious to cheer you up. Still a rather uncommon specialty coffee drink, a Christmas cookie latte features 49th parallel beans, George Howell beans, and espresso, infused with brown sugar, ginger, and Biscoff spread syrup.
