Hot chocolate is one of the most delicious hot drinks on the market, but we all find ourselves craving something different every once in a while. Luckily, there are many similar drinks on the market that taste just as delicious, and here are some of the very best alternatives.
Atole
Atole is a traditional Mexican drink, usually made with cornflour, vanilla, brown sugar, and cinnamon. You can also enhance its flavor by adding other spices, such as nutmeg, to the mix.
Anijsmelk
This Dutch drink is another great hot chocolate substitute that you can drink during cold winter months. Made with hot milk, anise seed, and sweetened with sugar or honey, spiced milk is the ultimate comfort beverage.
Lebanese White Coffee
Don’t let the name of this drink fool you because no coffee beans are involved in its making. This beverage is made with water, caffeine-free orange blossom water, and sugar, and it’s one of the best healthy substitutes for hot chocolate.
Hazelnut Toddy
If you’re looking for a boozy alternative to hot chocolate, mixing up some Frangelico liquor with hot milk or water will get you there. You can also keep the drink alcohol-free by using hazelnut syrup.
