There are so many amazing things that come with the holiday season. Some of the best of these are holiday inspired drinks. Let’s take a look at a few of these tasty beverages below.
Healthy Holiday Beverages
It’s such a festive time of the year with all the holidays happen so close together. That means not only time with friends and family, but also an endless number of sweetened and otherwise unhealthy drink options. With some of our happiest memories coming from time spent sharing in these treats, we don’t want to avoid temptation and hang out alone while everyone else has fun.
Instead, let’s add some healthy options to our beverage selection so everyone feels included and can enjoy sipping on something while taking part in holiday activities.
Matcha Green Tea
There is no shortage of options, but we have one that you’ll surely love: Organic green matcha tea. This is the perfect festive beverage that is packed with antioxidants and helps to support a healthy metabolism.
Since not all teas are grown and harvested the same way, we recommend checking out what Mountain Rose Herbs has to offer. Their teas are all organic and grown using sustainable practices to help protect the ecosystems and to ensure the highest quality product possible. If you are interested in quality, healthy, and organic products then trying Mountain Rose Herbs is a great place to start.
Mulled Cider
Mulled cider is an amazing beverage that is a perfect match for the holiday season.
To make this one, first, you’ll need 2 cups of fresh or dried hawthorn berries, and 2 tablespoons of dried orange peel. For spices, you need 2 tablespoons of allspice berries, 1 teaspoon of coarsely ground black pepper, 2 tablespoons of cardamom pods, 1/4 cup of cinnamon chips, 1 tablespoon of whole cloves.
And lastly, you need the apple cider. You can even add 1 or 2 drops of hawthorn extract for additional nutritional value. This recipe is so good because of the hawthorn berries, which are great for the cardiovascular system.
One of the most festive parts of the holidays can be the beverages. Whether it’s eggnog or a cranberry-spice cocktail, I think most of us enjoy one holiday drink or another. Still many of us may want more healthy options during the holiday season. Give either of these drinks a try and see if they support not only the health of your body but also makes sure that everyone gets to join in the festivities.
