It has been a rather freezing few days over in Taiwan. The weather started turning colder after we arrived and it went down to a really cold 11 degrees. The icy winds really send chills down your spine. It has really been a long time since I have experienced such a cold. Luckily there were many tasty warm drinks to drive the chills away.
A hot mug of coffee for the hubs.
A pot of apple and chrysanthemum tea which was absolutely refreshing.
Traditional Chinese Tea served at meals in a Chinese restaurant.
What’s your favourite “Keep Warm” drink?

I was hoping to get a shot of the beautiful coffee drinks they make here in Seoul, but there just wasn’t much time for that this week! Glad you were able to stay warm…it’s almost gotten above freezing here this week!

Apple and chrysanthemum tea sounds so good right now! It’s freezing here right now. I have my ‘mug’ of tieh kuan yin next to me and I worry that I won’t be able to sleep tonight!

Those are all amazing shots – and that tea does sound refreshing!
My favorite warm-up drink is coffee with French Vanilla creamer, or hot chocolate with marshmallows!

I’d drink hot chocolate on a chilly day.. but it’s never really *that* chilly here in the Philippines. But that doesn’t stop me from drinking hot choco. Haha

Hot chocolate is my favorite! I do remember in Germany having hot wine. Sounds odd, but it was pretty good on a really cold night. Lovely pictures and post.

Love the mug with the heart swirl in the drink. So beautiful. I’m a big hot mug of anything delicious drinking kind of gal. I have a preference for green tea and I flavor it with the variety of flavored coffee creamers which are found in the dairy section of most grocery stores. It’s so delicious that way!
Blessings,

Oh lovely! I need a warm drink about now
My favourite warm drink is tea, but perhaps I’m biased being British!
