Tea in Morocco, mulled wine in Sweden, mate in Argentina ... Every country has its iconic drink! Discover them through our world tour of hot drinks.
Hot drinks to enjoy at any time
Comforting, rich in antioxidants, tea is the second most consumed drink in the world, after water. And we can say that there is a rich palette of aromas and flavors ! If English black tea with milk remains a reference, we also fall for the scent of Moroccan tea mint, or the refinement of Oolong tea , very popular in China. Most ignored, the po cha is yet the favorite drink of Tibetans! It is prepared with black tea, dri butter (female yak) and a hint of salt. Guaranteed change of scenery ... Another possible option: infusions . While in Egypt, the hibiscus-based, karkadé , is all the rage, in Japan, we prefer the sobbacha , an infusion of buckwheat. If you want a more creamy beverage, opt for the Dutch anijsmelk (hot milk infused with anise) or the masala chai Indian and Egyptian sahlab , both milk based and scented with spices. Need a boost? One can indulge in a very full-bodied Italian espresso , or mate , an infusion of yerba mate leaves to sip with a bombilla (metal straw), like the Argentineans. And if you want an original breakfast, to change the classic croissant coffee, why not try the hot Spanish chocolate , very thick, accompanied by crisp churros. Surprising but equally good, atole is a Mexican hot drink, made from cereals and usually eaten in the morning.
And hot drinks with alcohol?
There are also many hot alcoholic drinks and very comforting. And we can say that the mulled wine has the rating! Scandinavian version, opt for the white glögg , a warm white wine very popular with Swedes and traditionally served at the end of the year. Germans are also fond of hot wine (red this time) with spices, which they call glühwein . Ideal for warming up in very cold weather. And if you're not a fan of wine, you can always opt for the canelazo, a hot drink with an alcohol cane consumed in Ecuador, or the Irish coffee, Irish cocktails based on coffee, sugar, cream and whiskey.
