We are in the middle of summer, but it turns out that Mother Nature has been confused and it just keeps raining. We have gotten used to these rainy times, but they usually wait until August and September. However, as with everything, we must find the positive side of the situation, and this weather invites us to share a hot and comforting drink with friends and family. So that you can also relax with a steaming cup, here are our teas and coffees for the rainy season.

Lemon Tea with Lemongrass

If you're craving something more original than classic chamomile tea, this is an option that is comforting, warm, and refreshing at the same time. The combination of lemon juice, lemon tea, and zest from the same fruit makes it an extremely aromatic tea with a high vitamin C content. You can find lemongrass in gourmet stores. http://www.kiwilimon.com/receta/bebidas/bebidas-calientes/te-de-limon-con-lemongrass

Cinnamon Latte

What better than a latte for a gray and rainy afternoon? This drink is the best companion for watching a movie or reading a book when the weather doesn’t invite you to go out. The touch of cinnamon in this recipe takes the flavor to another level and results in a spiced and exotic coffee that is very different from the typical cup of black coffee. Serve with a cinnamon stick as decoration. http://www.kiwilimon.com/receta/bebidas/bebidas-calientes/cafe-latte-con-canela

Mint Tea

This recipe couldn't be easier, but the strong flavor and aroma will convince everyone that you are an expert. All you need is very hot water, fresh mint leaves, and a little sugar, that's it. The leaves have a very strong flavor and infuse the water in a matter of seconds. You can also add them to a little chamomile or black tea for even more flavor. http://www.kiwilimon.com/receta/bebidas/bebidas-calientes/te-de-menta

Mexican Coffee

When you are feeling cold under the blankets due to the heavy rain, there is nothing wrong with turning to a classic Mexican drink to warm you up. Mexican coffee, sweetened with piloncillo and with that unmistakable flavor of brown sugar and cinnamon, is a delight. You can enjoy it with your favorite sweet bread, and we assure you that the rainy afternoon won't bother you at all. http://www.kiwilimon.com/receta/bebidas/bebidas-calientes/cafe-de-olla

Spiced Tea

This tea based on lemonade has a characteristic and almost addictive clove flavor. If you like drinks with strong flavors, this is a good alternative; it is served very hot and is ideal for afternoon gatherings with friends. Remember that you can add your own touch; some even add a bit of pink pepper or even anise to enhance the taste. http://www.kiwilimon.com/receta/bebidas/bebidas-calientes/te-de-especias
