From sweet and spiced to savory and soothing, there’s a cozy option for every taste and mood. The Seniors Helping Seniors® team picked out a list of recipes are simple, wholesome, and perfect for chilly afternoons or evenings spent relaxing. Here are some of our top picks to sip this fall.
4 Cozy Beverage Recipes for Seniors to Try This Season
- Pumpkin Spice Latte: Skip the sugary coffee shop version and make your own at home with pumpkin purée, a splash of milk (dairy or non-dairy), and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir it into coffee or chai for a wholesome twist on the café favorite.
- Spiced Apple Cider: Take store-bought cider and warm it up with a cinnamon stick, cloves, and a pinch of nutmeg. It’s naturally sweet, hydrating, and brings all the cozy fall flavors.
- Cranberry-Orange Herbal Tea: Brew up a tangy herbal tea with dried cranberries and a squeeze of fresh orange. Packed with antioxidants and vitamin C, it’s as healthy as it is refreshing.
- Bone Broth with Herbs: Simmer chicken or beef bones (or start with store-bought bone broth) and add rosemary, thyme, or sage for a savory, nourishing sip rich in minerals and protein.
