What do you drink when it's cold outside?

Just wondering what everyone drinks when it's cold outside?

My water from the tap tastes ocean-ey and has a high amount of limestone in it. -_- My willingness to drink some cold not refreshing water right now with it all snowy is... well... zero. I am having a hard time staying hydrated without drinking 99% diet soda. So sad. I need inspiration!

Anyone have any good recipes or hydrating drinks to drink in the winter? I was thinking something like aqua fresca/infusions/hot drinks/etc.


Let's share!


(P.S. I live in a country where there is no crystal light, mio, or small bottles of water sold in bulk. :cry: )

    Hot tea! Fruit flavored like rasberry or Meyer lemon. I use trivia to sweeten. Disguises any water I have ever tasted

    I only drink black tea (with splenda and almond joy creamer) and diet coke. Never water, and we have fabulous tap water, lol.

    Yes, I'll drink herbal or non-caffeine teas when it's cold. No calories unless you add some sweetener. You could try hot water with a squeeze of lemon, that's good too - I also like it cold. My water is very mineral rich but I like it, it's just like drinking bottled water without the waste (or price tag).

    You know, I never used to drink water AT ALL before MFP. As I've gotten used to not drinking calories in the form of iced tea, juices etc my thirst for water has gradually come back.

    Herbal tea...various flavors...hot in the winter, cold in the summer, room temperature in between.

    It's hard to make specific suggestions not knowing what country you are in.

    Yes, so tea it is!

    I should be drinking more hot teas, i just think about this elusive "2-3 Liters of water a day" goal I feel like i can never reach. (Yes, i know, just use pee as a reference for hydration.Still, I am fully hydrated on 6+ diet soda cans a day! LOL)

    Now if only we had splenda or sweet n low here. XD

    I still prefer cold drinks mostly.
    Cold filtered water, unsweetened iced tea or unsweetened hot tea.

    Same thing as I drink when it's hot outside -- coffee. Always lots and lots of coffee.

    I have to filter our water here. I use the brita pitchers. Bottled water gets expensive and we go through a lot.

    I drink a lot more hot tea when it's cold. My current favorite is a mango black tea. I like cinnamon spiced ones too. I also drink some coffee.

    Tea and hot chocolate. Coffee when I can get espresso drinks...otherwise when at home it's tea, tea, tea, hot chocolate, tea x 10, hot chocolate...

    I drink black and green teas. All types. Black with soya milk, green plain.

    Lots and lots of hot tea, and some coffee. I can't bring myself to drink plain water unless I am really thirsty or it is really hot outside.

    So far today 6 cups of coffee and 9 cups of herbal tea. I usually drink a lot less coffee but today was just a coffee kind of day.

    Water, coffee, and tea. Occasionally I'll have freshly squeezed grapefruit juice or hot chocolate.

    This.

    I might drink an extra cup if it's really cold. :wink:

    A couple of frozen berries and a couple slices of lemon in a pitcher of warm or cold water and I find myself drinking litres of water. I was never a fan of water before.

    The same stuff I drink when it's warm. I don't care for unsweetened tea, coffee, etc and I can't afford the calories of hot chocolate.

    I drink a glass of hot skimmed milk blended with a raw egg and cinammon, so filling and delicious.

    Mostly a combination of iced tea, water, and diet soda. When it is cold out I may throw in some hot tea, but not often.

    I keep with the water but use filtered bottles (http://www.waterbobble.com/ other makes are available but I like these you can buy them from amazon) to kill any weird taste, otherwise I add some juice or fruit, smoothies for breakfast and hot choc to warm me up - I only add water no milk and have low cal options (and put less water in to concentrate the flavour)
    im not a fan of tea or coffee
    im from the uk

    Bourbon

    Seriously, the same thing I drink the rest of the year... water, tea, tisane, coffee. Outside temperature determines if it's hot or iced. I'm a huge fan of Harney and Sons. I've yet to have one that isn't delicious.
