Sipping the Warmth – 8 Hot Drinks Because Baby, It’s Cold Out There!
Slip into January with an attitude of hygge and it will get you through any long, cold day. That’s right, pull on your coziest sweater, some thick socks, invite your friends over for a hot drink and warm conversation around the fire. Don’t worry about what to fill your mug with because we’ve got eight hot drink recipes that will make you glad it’s cold outside.
It’s all about attitude! Take a lesson from one of the happier nations in the world, the Danes, who embrace their long and dark winter season with hygge.

So what better way to continue the love and joy spread through the holiday season into January with a warm mug of something yummy!
