Inspired by a traditional Ayurvedic drink, this warm, spiced milk has some medicinal properties. BOTTOMS DOWN. These days, more and more people are looking for booze-free beverage options. Us too. So to help reinforce this choice, we created two hot and two cold nonalcoholic libations. For you toddy loving drinkers, there’s Pear & Apple Cider and Hot Spiced Turmeric Milk. Both will take the chill off all winter long. And the aromas, with all of those fragrant spices, are just as enticing. Or, for something a little fresher, there’s Pineapple & Mango Agua Fresca and Blood Orange Shrub.
