When the outside temperatures drop below zero, nothing cheers us up more than fragrant, warm drinks that warm us from the inside. Hot chocolate, caramel and whipped cream immediately remind us of the holiday season, and in combination with coffee, we get a real boost to lift the mood, which will smell like the whole house.
Nothing conjures up the Christmas spirit better than a fragrant cup full of flavor, whose fantastic aromas put you in a happy mood. To inspire you to create one of these heart-warming drinks, here are three recipes that are perfect for cozy get-togethers at home or lazy afternoons when you just want to curl up under the covers with your favorite drink in hand and enjoy one of the sugary Christmas movies.
An indispensable tool in creating these fantastic recipes is the automatic coffee machine Philips LatteGo 5400. With the 100 % ceramic grinder, which does not heat up to a high temperature and does not change the taste of the coffee, and the Aroma Extract system, which ensures the ideal temperature for preparing beverages, the machine creates a perfectly aromatic cup of coffee. The machine offers 12 different types of coffee drinks, which are created by precise grinding of fresh coffee beans, so that each of us will find the right drink for ourselves. Thanks to the intuitive screen, we can easily arrange our cup of coffee by adjusting the intensity and temperature of the coffee and determine how much coffee and milk will be in our favorite cup of coffee.
Take a look at our suggestions and recreate the drinks yourself at home. Enrich your home with scents that irresistibly remind you of Christmas and give the atmosphere in your home a touch of warmth.
