    When it's chilly outside, I almost always have a warm mug nearby. Sometimes it's coffee, sometimes something chocolatey, and other days it's a simple spiced drink simmering on the stove. This list includes a mix of sweet, creamy and savory options that are easy to make at home.

    If you're looking for something calming, I also love keeping my favorite peppermint tea on hand for evenings when I want something warm and soothing to sip (so good with lemon and honey).
