I am caffeine free due to heart medications and palpitations. Even decaf coffee and decaf black tea have too much and cause a reaction. I also have to watch herbal teas for medicine interactions- plus most do not have a flavor I like. No hot chocolate due to sugar.
Anyone have any alternatives? As we enter into the cooler months, I am going to miss having a warm cup of something in the hand. |

| Find a herbal tea that works. Ones with hibiscus have good flavor. |

| Hot water with lemon? I agree with the pp- find a flavor you like. I like a good chamomile or mint tea, but there are so many. Maybe start with Rishi teas? |

I love hibiscus, unfortunately it interferes with one of my medicines. |

| Given your other restrictions, I'd just have hot chocolate, unless you need to avoid sugar for medical reasons. |

| Hot cider came to mind. Bouillon? Can you still get Horlicks or Ovaltine? |

Same! A friend introduced me to this and it's surprisingly pleasant all on its own. |

+1 this is my fave, in a pretty glass mug. Add a cinnamon stick to make it feel a bit special. You can make delicious mulled cider on the stove or I even just heat a cup in the microwave in a pinch. |

It has quite a bit of sugar. |

| I am with early posters-- hot water + lemon does the trick. Very soothing. |
