As the nights get longer, temperatures dip low and snow accumulates, we tend to feel like hibernating. Whether that means gathering at the homes of family and friends to celebrate the holidays or curling up with a good book, it often involves cozying up with a mug of something warm and satiating between your palms.

However, Americans seem to be stuck in a rut. According to a recent study , we consume far more coffee than any other type of hot beverage, such as tea or cocoa . We also stick to cold beverages like water, soda and fruit juice , even in winter. Theres nothing wrong with doing this staying hydrated is certainly beneficial but dont you ever wonder if youre missing out on a delectable new way to enjoy hygge ?

We consulted chefs, cookbook authors and food bloggers from around the globe to find out what they drink to stay warm, including tips on how to make these beverages and where to find the ingredients.
