I usually don't like hot drinks but last year I *loved* peppermint hot chocolate and am now more open to the idea of hot drinks. I like the idea of curling up with something warm and relaxing...

This year I'd like to find a different drink besides hot chocolate as there is lots of sugar in it. I *don't* like teas, I've given them an honest try in the past. Coffee on the other hand, I've not really tried. I don't really think I'll just jump in with straight up black coffee, but would like to try some flavored stuff. I've never had a cappuccino or latte, or anything else like it. What are the differences between them all? What would be a good thing to try? Something creamy and sweet, but obviously not too sweet....

Also a question about caffeine: is it bad for you even if your body doesn't react to it? Is it still addictive or harmful?

I really like apple cider, too, but it still has lots of sugar in it. I've never actually compared the amounts of sugar in cider vs. chocolate.
