Now that we’ve got your attention, let’s get onto the subject matter straight away – hot drinks and soft drinks! If you are a hot drink fan and a soft drink fan, then this lockdown feature is for you. #TeamCoco has put together a great selection of drinkable beauties for you to enjoy in the comfort of your own home.

It’s all about hot tea with our first three choices, we’ve opted for a tea packed with chocolatey honeycomb, a fabulous peppermint infused tea, and a super herbal tea. Then we move across to quaffable soft drinks with a cold brew coffee, a tasty nutty milk, a flavoursome sparking water, and a unique kombucha.

Hot Tea

Bird & Blend, Honey, I’m Comb Tea

This Ceylon black tea is a blend of chocolate-y honeycomb goodness, perfect for biscuit dunking tea fans! Comb on, try me… and it’s vegan too.

East India Tea Company, Peppermint Infusion Pyramid Sachets

Officers and sailors in The East India Company would famously brew peppermint leaf as an herbal digestive on long voyages. Made from the finest English Mitcham dark peppermint, this Peppermint Infusion has a pleasant and invigorating taste. Wonderfully refreshing no matter the time of day.

Soft Drinks

Bottleshot Cold Brew, Oat M*lk

In keeping with authentic New Orleans recipes, Bottleshot brews their premium, ethically sourced Arabica beans in chilled water for 18 hours with chicory to make a tastier, irresistibly smooth coffee that’s high in caffeine and has 60% less acidity compared to regular coffee. Not to be confused with iced coffee which is simply ‘hot’ coffee poured over ice, cold brew is a healthier option that has taken the US by storm and due to the steeping process results in a naturally sweet beverage that is easy on the gut.

Bottleshot Cold Brew’s Oat M*lk is a light dairy-free option as we see a growing demand for milk alternatives due to rising lifestyle and diet trends such as veganism and plant-based diets.

Priced at £14.99 (6 cans), available from www.bottleshotbrew.com, Amazon, Whole Foods Market, and Soho House.

Nutty Bruce, Almond Milk

Nutty Bruce helps to add health and wellness into your busy life by creating nutritious, delicious and convenient range of plant-based milks – and we are loving the Nutty Bruce Almond Milk.

Priced at £2.25 (1ltr), available from www.planetorganic.com and Whole Foods Market.

DASH Water, Peach

Dash Water is getting ready for a summer full of sweetness with the launch of its brand new flavour, Dash Peach. Dash Peach uses wonky and surplus peaches which are deemed unfit to be sold in UK supermarkets. The savoured peaches which, have a little bump here or mark there, have been infused with naturally sparkling British spring water, creating that taste of summer in can – a zero calorie ‘guilt free’ drink.

The blush-coloured Dash Peach is set to refresh and revitalise the nation this summer, the irresistible sparkling drink has the perfect ‘dash’ of juicy peachy delight in every sip.

Priced at £1.29 (330ml can), available from www.dash-water.com, Ocado, Sainsbury’s, and Amazon.

Lo Bros, Kombucha in Ginger & Lemon

Drinking healthily as possible is important not only for our physical health, but our psychological well-being, too. During these crazy times, Lo Bros is the perfect drink to keep your immune system up, giving you the right dose of sugar for your body and your gut.

Unlike many other kombucha drinks, Lo Bros Organic Kombucha is naturally low in sugar, containing just 1.6g per 100ml. Sugar is an important part of the kombucha brewing process and Lo Bros leaves just a small amount of sugar in each bottle to ensure that it feeds the beneficial bacteria, keeping them healthy.

Priced at £1.50 (330ml bottle), available from www.lobros.co.uk
