I’m just finishing my 3rd coffee of the day (I really need to cut down again!) and just wondered what hot drink other people prefer? Are you a coffee drinker or do you prefer tea or perhaps you like herbal tea (good flavour recommendations welcome!) or something else? How do you take your tea/coffee/other. I drink strong black coffee with no milk or sugar but with half cold water due to sensitive gums; I don’t drink tea but do drink herbal teas depending on the flavour, lemon, ginger and manuka honey is a current favourite but peppermint and liquorice is a recent fail on the herbal tea front!
What if you drink coco as well though I have coffee in the morning 2 cups tea after that then hot choc to go to bed.. lol
You like Ovaltine? Or are you a Cocoa purist?
To be honest I'm a bit of a hot chocolate snob, this is my favorite but its so expensive so I only get it when its on offer otherwise I make do with this;
Also very nice but not Whittards lol
I’m staging a boycott of nestle products! I’ll check out Lidl later

Lol, it dissolves real well in cold milk. Mind you I'm promotimg Nestlè products! Shouldn't be doing it!

It's just the tip of the iceberg. They are a real evil empire.

Try Lidl! They do a Nesquik clone, half the price and identical.
That's disgusting! Nestle should be ashamed of themselves! I may have to boycott their milkshake powder in protest! I can make my own milkshakes with ice cream now anyway! I have NEVER given any of my babies formula milk and articles like this only serve to reinforce my belief that mum's milk is best!
:-)
sludge you mean, if it dissolves in cold milk, ugh.....
I've just looked, I'd probably go for the luxury milk or Amaretto versions, may have to give it a go.
It certainly sounds pretty evil/disgusting, lol
Kitsune said:What Formula scandal? I've never 'done' Formula milk so I've never had any need to know about it...
This is a good summary. Millions of babies deaths were linked to Nestlè.

I can definitely imagine Lucifer popping out of the top of that tin of Milo!!!

It's far more sinister. It's like Ovaltine, verbatim, but it dissolves into cold milk. It probably has all the calories of the stuff you mentioned too............
It might be evil.

Do you know about the formula scandal? Nestle are pretty evil!
Yuk!
I think that they did do a 'pure' hot chocolate. I bought it at a Chocolate festival on Good Friday earlier this year. This is their website, they do really good coffee too!

Only the finest hot chocolate is getting past our lips! We don't want to put on weight either! Nestle make complan, who knew.....

Where can you buy this? I don't usually like hot choc with other flavours but if they do a pure hot chocolate one I'd give it a go, looks expensive though.
Yep, we are classy chicks...
Kitsune said:Try this for posh hot chocolate, it’s so lush, even I’ve had to drink some and I don’t even like hot chocolate
You two are upmarket!
But can your hot chocolate fatten you up like a meal.......
Remember when I first tasted the stuff, and was drinking glass after glass. Might as well have been drinking chesseburgers blended with ice cream! Tastes good cold and hot. I put on a fair few pounds before realising it was like Complan!
