Cold fingers, clear air and snow under your shoes, all that's missing now is a delicious, hot drink.
Whether winter hiking, in a mountain hut or simply on the go: A "hot drink to go" not only warms the body, but also lifts the spirits.
Here are five simple but really good ideas for winter drinks that you can enjoy outdoors, straight from the thermos.
Apple cinnamon punch
Nothing says "winter" quite like the scent of warm apple juice and cinnamon.
Heat cloudy apple juice with a cinnamon stick, a little lemon juice, and a few cloves. If desired, add a slice of orange.
A sip of this in the middle of the snow and winter feels twice as cozy.
Hot Chocolate Deluxe
When it's cold outside, nothing beats hot chocolate.
For the “deluxe” effect: melt real chocolate (at least 60%) in milk, add some vanilla or chili and round it off with a touch of cinnamon.
Perfect for a break during a winter hike or as a reward after a long climb.
Ginger and lemon tea
This drink is your natural winter booster.
Take a few slices of fresh ginger, lemon juice and some honey, pour hot water over it and let it steep.
It has a warming effect from the inside and strengthens the immune system.
Pear spiced tea
A bit more unusual, but really good:
Gently heat the pear juice, add a pinch of cinnamon, a little vanilla and a piece of fresh ginger.
The result: an aromatic, sweet and spicy drink that perfectly complements the winter atmosphere and a walk in the snow. It tastes delicious even when chilled!
Herbal Matcha Mix
For those who prefer a more modern approach: Mix matcha powder with hot water, add a little lemon juice and a dash of agave syrup.
Or as a herb mix with thyme, rosemary and a squeeze of lemon.
It provides energy, warms you from the inside and is the perfect drink for long winter days outdoors.
