I had a really hard time answering the cold day question. I'm a hot chocolate fiend, but when I think about my ideal way to spend a relaxing cold day at home, it's cup of tea, quilt and a book that springs to mind, not hot cocoa.

Hot cocoa is more for breakfast in winter or coming in from the snow after spending the day making snowmen and sledding.

I also adore hot cider, but only drink it in the fall/winter, whereas I'll have tea year 'round.

I usually do put milk in my tea, but I'm also happy with just a bit of honey for sweetness, I don't usually combine milk and honey though. I don't really like sugar in my tea, cold or hot. If I were having tea at a tea room or in company, I'd want it strong, with a splash of milk and no lumps.

I love chai, but I only really get it when I'm going to Starbucks. I just ... really like their chai. I also like to make my own chai, but that doesn't happen often.
