💬 Happy Friday! Do you have any fun plans this weekend? I hope to get a lot accomplished this weekend, including finishing up my Christmas shopping and hopefully getting a bunch of stuff wrapped! Do you enjoy wrapping gifts? I find it so relaxing! I was hoping to read All of Us Villains this month with a book club, but I’ve been so behind on reading I haven’t even started it yet. 🥴 It just may end up being my first read of 2022! 📖🤎 » Sweater Weather candle by @timelessprintsca!

[Repost] It’s the time of the year when I begin to put ginger in everything. From an early age I was told that ginger can warm my stomach and expel cold. The bottom row illustrates some of the hot drinks I often make for myself in China during cold weather. Speaking of which, I think I’m going to make some pear soup later😋. It’s really easy, just put sliced pear and some rocky candy in water and boil on low heat. You can also add some goji berries to make it fancier! What winter drinks are you enjoying at the moment? #winterdrinks #gingerdrink #pearsoup #chineseculture #hotchocolatetime #winter#sliceoflife #tinyeyescomics https://www.instagram.com/p/CG48zKVjqwg/?igshid=1l6d8pu5rf1x3

Spiked Cinnamon Hot Cocoa {ad} - rich, creamy, chocolatey, and a little kick to get you through the holiday season! Load it up with dairy free whipped topping and dark chocolate shavings for an indulgent treat.

So even though the holiday season has come to a close it’s still winter and there are plenty of excuses to make a good spiced cider. If nothing else it will make your house smell great. 

This does require a crock pop so if you don’t have one I highly recommend changing that immediately. 

What you’ll need

1 container of motts apple cider juice

1/4 cup of brown sugar 

1 large orange

35 whole cloves 

3 whole cinnamon sticks 

What you’ll need to do

1. Cut up the orange into sections 2. Place the cloves into the orange (I did three on each side as seen in the picture) 3. Pour the apple cider juice in the crock pot and turn it on low 4. Add the brown sugar and stir gently until dissolved 5. Add cinnamon sticks and orange (with cloves) 6. Let simmer on low for 6-8 hours or to taste. 7. Stirring occasionally 

This whole thing cost me maybe $10, it was a huge hit at the holiday party I brought it too and serves 10-15 people

Since a lot of you have showed strong interest in food, I decided to make it the theme of December. All the posts this month will be related to food culture!

Let’s begin with some seasonal drinks. On the top row are some of the popular hot drinks from the western countries while on the bottom row I list some of the hot drinks I would make for myself in China. All of them are believed to have medical effects that help you strengthen the body and cope with the cold weather (I’ll talk about diet treatment in another post). For example, pear soup (梨汤) moisturises lungs and relieves cough. Dates and longan soup(桂圆红枣茶)warms and nourishes qi and blood. Ginger and brown sugar soup (姜糖水)warms the stomach and expels cold. I don’t know the exact medical values of these soups, but at on psychological level they make me feel better in a cold weather.

Do you have a favorite winter drink?
