Hello Ladies of Hive! I think it's my first time posting in the community. I've just been a lurker in this community for a while now and finally, the time has come for me to share by answering the question for this week's contest.
Coffee? Tea? Both are renowned around the world! Which is your favorite to drink daily, and how do you take it? Recipes, please, and if you are not a fan of either, what is your favorite daily drink?
To be honest, I'm in a dilemma on how to answer this question.
My daily drinks vary depending on my mood and where I am located. In this post, I'll be sharing with you 3 of the drinks I drink daily - not all 3 in one day, but at least 1 or 2 of them in a day.
Tea
I drink tea almost every day. Not every day because I forget to drink it sometimes. π
It's pretty obvious what my favorite is. There's only one left in the photo. Camomile Honey is the best! I like anything Chamomile actually. It calms me and it's my go-to drink before going to sleep. My plain Chamomile is now out of stock in my tea bag storage. It reminded me to go shopping and buy more stocks. π
Next to Chamomile is Rooibos Honey. I drink it whenever I have a stomach ache or when it's the time of the month. I also like Rosehip and Hibiscus. The aroma of this tea is really so attractive!
I haven't tried the Earl Grey tea yet (the violet one in the photo) so I have lots of them. I don't know what it tastes like so I'm somewhat afraid to try it. And I hate Ginger Lemon tea but when I'm sick, no choice but to drink it to feel better.
If you notice in my collection, I also have Kombucha. I tried to drink it daily before to have a better digestion but lately I haven't. Actually, I forgot I still have these. I thought I ran out of stocks that's why I haven't been drinking it lately. LOL I got the powdered one but the best kombucha is the homemade one which I haven't tried yet. If I try to make one, I'll make sure to share it! For now, I'll just drink the powdered one. Since I still have stocks, I'll probably go back to drinking this daily.
Coffee
I don't really drink coffee every day. I drink it once in a while, depending on where I am. If I'm working at the office, you'll see me with a Starbucks cup on hand after lunch. Tbh, I spend my lunch break at Starbucks. Luckily, I only go to the office once or twice a month these days but before, almost every Wednesday, I was working in the office and every lunch break, you'd find me at Starbucks.
The reason why I don't drink coffee every day is that I actually cannot drink bitter coffee. There has to be milk almond milk in that. My usual order in Starbucks is White Cafe Mocha - either hot or iced, depending on the weather. I love the smell of mocha. And the white one has a very nice taste!
Sometimes there are limited drinks available in Starbucks so when I haven't tried them yet, I always make sure to order them.
Of course, I also go to other cafes whenever I meet up with my friends or whenever I need a change of scenery if I'm kinda fed up or bored in the house. I'll be ordering Cafe Latte by then because their menu is kinda limited, unlike Starbucks.
Amazake
Just outside my apartment, there lies a vending machine. It's so convenient if I want to drink something that we don't have at the house. I usually buy orange juice there but I try to avoid it recently.
What I buy there recently is Amazake.
Amazake (ηι , [amazake]) is a traditional sweet, low-alcohol or non-alcoholic Japanese drink made from fermented rice.
Amazake contains many nutrients, including vitamin B1, B2, B6, folic acid, dietary fiber, oligosaccharide, cysteine, arginine and glutamine.[9] It is often considered a hangover cure in Japan.

Amazake is so sweet so it's good to drink this whenever you're craving sweets. It's also the usual drink for New Year. It can be drunk hot or cold so it's a bit refreshing in the summer and comforting in the winter.
Just this week, I donated to a town in the countryside and they'll give me 6 bottles of 500ml Amazake as a thank you gift. So I'll be enjoying my amazake daily when it arrives.
Since I am still waiting for my amakaze to arrive and I still have stocks left for kombucha, I guess I'll drink kombucha again everyday til I ran out of stocks. Of course, I'll continue to drink my tea especially that I'm at home, it's easy to make.
These drinks energize me. Sometimes, I drink them to comfort myself. Most of the time, I drink them to suppress my stress-eating habits. π Nevertheless, I'm happy and a bit contented I am able to enjoy my tasty drinks with style!
What about yours? Do you drink something daily? Hope I can hear from you 
Thanks for reading!
See you around! γγγγγΎγγοΌ
