No cinnamon, or overly spicy, chocolate drinks (did I just rule out everything?) :/

Tea. Just make tea. You’ve effectively ruled out almost everything else.

Is there a much lower sugar version? They’re always so sugary…

Like, can you buy apple dehydrate or something and spice to taste, every cider I come across is absolutley laden with it and my tastes are dryer these days

Apple juice is pretty much sugar water to begin with.

Winter comfort drinks are a mix of three things, fat (eggnog etc), sugar (cider etc) or booze (mulled wine etc) as they are what warms you on a cold night… a shit load calories.

You seem very particular about what you drink. You should maybe look into mixing a custom loose leaf tea that fits your tastes.

I always make hot lemon-and-honey “tea” when it’s fuck-off cold out. It’s what my mom did for sore throats (which I did get, and still got, frequently in the winter) so it’s super comforting.

Just squeeze about 1/2 of a lemon into a mug of hot water, then drizzle in honey to taste. Best done with a highly flavored local clover honey imo. And you can use a teaspoon or two of the storebought squeeze bottle lemon concentrate if its all you have.

Also works with orange. Invest in good honey for bonus cozy points.

Try a squeeze of lemon, half an orange, a little honey, a half-pinch of salt (it’s really that little salt, it is just the tiniest bit to bring out the flavour) and about 2 drops of lysergic acid diethylamide. You’ll thank me later.

I have all of those ingredients except for the 10 syllable word with which you ended it.

Ginger and honey drink. You can buy it prepackaged from Asian grocers (and probably amazon). Gold Kili is the brand I like.
