There's something magical about lighting a candle and sipping a delicious festive drink, with a twinkling tree as the backdrop, as we reflect on the year that's passed.
Today, we've paired our holiday scents with three beverages that enhance the cosy experience...
SPICED APPLE CIDER
Pairs with: Our "Spruce", "Alpine" or December subscription box scent "Winter Christmas Cabin"
The fresh, evergreen notes of Spruce meet the warmth of mulled cider.
Recipe:
• 2 cups apple juice
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 2 star anise
• 3 cloves
• 1 orange slice
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary
Warm gently, strain, and serve with a rosemary sprig garnish.
PEPPERMINT HOT CHOCOLATE
Pairs with: Our "Candy Cane" candle
Double the mint, double the festive feeling.
Recipe:
• 2 cups whole milk
• 3 tbsp quality cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
• Whipped cream
• Crushed candy cane for garnish
Heat milk slowly, whisk in remaining ingredients, top with cream and crushed candy cane.
GINGERBREAD LATTE
Pairs with: Our "Gingerbread Cookie" candle
The ultimate holiday spice combination.
Recipe:
• 1 shot espresso (or strong coffee)
• 1 cup warmed milk
• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• 1/4 tsp each: ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• Whipped cream
Mix spices and molasses with hot coffee, add warm milk, top with cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
TIPS FOR THE PERFECT PAIRING:
• Light your candle 30 minutes before serving drinks to set the mood
• Use premium ingredients for the best flavour
• Serve in clear mugs to see the lovely layers or cute thirfted Christmas mugs
• Create a dedicated cosy corner for sipping and relaxing
Remember: These drinks are best enjoyed slowly, with good company or a good book, while your holiday candle flickers nearby.
