As the seasons change and the weather cools, we at Second Breakfast love to settle in with our favorite warm, Cozy Drink. Perfect for crisp second breakfasts or a late supper by the fire, this simple recipe is a tradition in our little corner of the Shire.

For someone who doesn't drink coffee or many teas, and finds hot chocolate sometimes doesn't sit well, having a lighter yet still cozy drink option is a nice alternative to choose from! 

If you're like me, give this recipe a try and let me know what you think! 

Instructions

Start by boiling your water – the sound of a kettle always feels like home, doesn’t it? While the water heats, add 1 to 3 tablespoons of honey into your favorite mug, just enough sweetness to taste.

Next, a sprinkle of cinnamon… and a dash of nutmeg. Once the water’s ready, fill your mug halfway, letting that honey and spice swirl together. As you stir, watch the spices dance and release their aroma, filling the room with comfort.

Now, for the creamy finish – fill the rest of your mug with milk, stir it all together, and there you have it. Simple, comforting, and oh-so-cozy.

Take a moment, breathe in the warmth, and enjoy. There’s nothing quite like a cozy drink to welcome the chill of autumn. What spices or sweeteners would you add to make it your own? Share your ideas in the comments—we’d love to hear!
