As the weather starts getting colder, we start looking for comforting drinks that will help keep us warm. Some of the most popular options in America are also the easiest to find — there are more than 13,000 Starbucks locations in the United States alone, and they have a huge percentage of the market cornered already — people love their pumpkin spice lattes!

However, there are a lot of downsides to visiting a café every day, especially if your go-to order is a sweetened latte or Frappuccino. It’s easy to make delicious warm drinks at home, which allows you to flavor them to your taste, saving both money and calories. Here are some of the best drinks for fall that are popular around the world.

Mexican Hot Chocolate

Also known as chocolate caliente Mexicano, this delicious sweet treat originates in Mexico, where they make use of traditional spices to flavor melted chocolate. You may think that this is a regular hot chocolate mixture with additional spices, but Mexican hot chocolate is actually made with a specific type of chocolate called ‘tablilla’, which already includes the sugar and spices like cayenne and cinnamon, so all you need to do is melt it with either water or milk. Once the mixture is melted together, you’ll need a special tool called a molinillo, which froths the drink until it’s pleasantly light and airy. Garnish with a cinnamon stick, and enjoy!
