Well, I don’t know about you guys, but my corner of the world has been feeling the full wrath of January weather this past week. As a daydreaming topic one chilly morning, I asked all of my characters what their favorite hot beverage was. Here are some of the answers. As usual, my alter-ego Hannah interjected whenever it suited her. Her words are in the [brackets].

Rodney from School Spirit
“Hot apple cider. With a cinnamon stick, please!”
~*~
Lisa from Ball Girl
“Chai tea with a spoonful of vanilla ice cream melted in it.”
~*~
Matt from The TimeWarp Bill
“Caramel iced coffee.”
[Hannah: …Seriously? Iced Coffee?]
“Yeah. Winter doesn’t bother me, and iced coffee will always taste so much better than hot coffee.”
[Hannah: Whatever works for you, kid.]
~*~
Zen from No More Heroes
“Coffee. Black with sugar. And a cranberry biscotti, if possible.”
~*~
Kaleb from Loved by Numbers
“Yeah, what he said. Black Coffee.”
[Hannah: Ohhh I sincerely doubt that. You realize this isn’t just a poll, right? You’re actually getting these drinks.]
“Oh…”
[Hannah: You sure you want to drink a whole black coffee just so you don’t look silly?]
“You obviously know what I want. Can’t you just bring it without me saying?”
[Hannah: *silence*]
*sigh* “Hot chocolate. With whipped cream and sprinkles.”

Lyn from The Suicide Game
“Mint and lavender tea.”
~*~
Trevor from School Spirit
“Earl Gray tea. Two tea bags seeped for about half an hour, then lots of sugar.”
[Hannah: sounds… tasty.]
“Well, it keeps me awake when I’m finishing homework. And then I got used to it, and now I actually want it.”

As for me? When I’m feeling indulgent, I go for a Chai Latte, (and Hannah prefers Peppermint Mochas.)
What’s your favorite cold weather drink? (Feel free to answer for yourself or your characters!)
Stay warm out there, friends!
