Homemade Drinks to Try This Winter
That’s a long list but hey, you’ll have lots of drink options to try all winter long. Personally, I can’t wait to make our own cider this year.
And, we’ll definitely try some of the teas. Especially some of those immune boosters when colds come knocking.
Every year I think about making my own eggnog and every year I chicken out. Maybe this will finally be the year, all though I’m pretty doubtful.
