The gray winter weather and the icy temperatures are best sweetened with delicious winter drinks such as the three-ingredient sea buckthorn grog, the gin-cider punch or a hot aperol.
Do you already know the hot drinks "Dead Aunt" and "Hot Grandma"?
A warm cup of glow gin also lifts the spirits in winter.
Those who like to drink eggnog can also try the vegan version for a change.

The preparation of the vegan eggnog is very simple
Soak the cashews for at least 1-2 hours or overnight to soften (or just cook for 10 minutes if you want a quick one).
Then rinse and let drain.
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until creamy.
Taste and add more spices or sweetness if needed.
Chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours before serving (optional).
Sprinkle with some cinnamon and garnish with star anise and pomegranate seeds, if you like.
Then serve and enjoy.
If you seal the homemade, vegan eggnog tightly in a jar or bottle, it will keep in the fridge for about a week.
The vegan Christmas stollen goes well with this and you should not miss the vegan eggnog either.
