I’m both coffee and tea person according to my mood and need. But this winter I tried Masala chai for the very first time. This Indian Hot drink consist of special ingredients like cinnamon, ginger, cloves and peppercorns along with the basic ingredients. This drink not only gives warm to the body but also combat winter conditions like cough, cold and stuffy nose. This drink is very famous in North India and loved by majority of Indians here. So try this out if you haven’t yet.

This drink is caffeine free and completely herbal as well. If you’re down with any of winter conditions like cold and cough then this drink is a must try. I personally like this hot drink in winter and sometimes in summer as well as a detox drink. Very simple and easy to make by boiling a cup of water, add ginger and then strain it. Lastly add honey and your honey ginger tea is ready.
Hot Tulsi Tea
This drink is as simple to make as it sounds. It is pleasing and refreshing with its herbal accents, good for sore throat during cold days. But its anti- bacterial properties makes it a detox drink too. Give it a try.

This is spicy and creamy drink to have both at day and night. I like to have this drink at night during winters while reading my book. With few simple steps it is easy to make. By combining milk ( any of your choices ) with slices of raw turmeric, ginger slices, cinnamon stick, honey, cloves, ground turmeric and peppercorns. Bring it to simmer and let it infused for 20 min, strain and served hot with cream or frothed milk. This Golden milk latte is my personal favorite now after masala chai.
