Hot HNS
Since winter is coming, i was wondering, are there any HNS out there that you can also drink hot? I am off coffee and thats a no go anyway and i dont see my self mixing up peach mango in hot water :) so any suggestions ?

I've heard that the cranberry/green tea is good hot, but I've never personally tried it. Also the hot cocoa (which is a creamy) is okay. I tried it as a pudding the other night and wasn't a big fan of it. I may try it as a drink later on though.
|
hot cocoa as a drink is DELISH and is my staple creamy every day :)
otherwise, Lynn is right--the cranberry/green tea is delicious hot. tastes just like brewed lipton hot tea. |
oh leahruthie, I may have to try the green tea one. I've never bought it before. And how do you prepare your cocoa, 4 oz. of hot water?
|
i have big mugs both at home and at work, so i'm assuming it's more than 4 oz., but basically i just dump the packet in and add boiling water until it's full :) though i assume it would be even more chocolatey/creamier the less water you use, but i prefer to have a big mug that'll last me a while! and it never really tastes watered down, either... in fact, i like it better than the diet or no-sugar-added varieties of swiss miss.
|
really? very interesting. Of course I LOADED mine down with marshmellows :) I miss that but I will be able to have that again soon I hope!

I'm really jealous of everyone that has the hot cocoa. My center has never had it available since I've started in August. Everytime I go they don't have it. I finally got to try it from a swap basket and it was yummy, especially with a shot of decaf espresso. They always say "we got some in earlier but they sold out that day". I may just have to call them every day asking if they have more until they finally get them in, lol. Because I'm not really fond of the chocolate pudding and I haven't tried the cappucino yet.

This might sound strange but I like to drink the strawberry/banana gelatin hot, I started drinking this past Feb. in the winter when it was cold and it is really good, especially if your sick. I only drink the cranberry green tea hot, and its good too.

I absolutely love the hot cocoa with a splash of cinnamon in the evening. In my opinion the cinnamon adds so much. Makes me feel like I am cheating.

You could probably do some unique experimentation, if you wanted, nabeel. If plain old hot cocoa doesn't trip your trigger, add a bit of mint extract. Or add 1/3 to 1/2 packet of the orange concentrate to the cranberry/green tea. Become the master mixologist of the HNS! If you come up with anything else, let me know! Good luck! -- JJ |

oooh the cinnamon and the extracts are GREAT ideas!! gonna have to try those. orange hot chocolate would be delish!

Thanks all, the thing is i am trying (and wanting) to stay of the creamie HNS stuff as much as possible :) I will try some suggestions posted here!
|
I have the hot cappuccino every morning. I was a coffee drinker, so this helps curb that need.

My center had mixed up the lemon powder one and orange. Served hot from a coffee pot. It was good. Put in some spices and make it into a a spiced "cider" Bet a couple of cinnamon spice tea bags would give it that apple flavor. Imagine having that hot on a cold snowy day! |
