We had a mild winter until last week. But now the temperatures have dropped down and it has become windy and rainy. What this means is that, no one at home, including me, doesn't like to have our daily fruits. Even the fluid intake has gone down drastically from a minimum of 8 cups to barely 5 cups or so. I was searching for a drink that is warm and has fruit in it and here it was.. An ideal drink for those cold and wet days. Also, it being loaded with the goodness of vitamin C and warm spices, would be a good cold remedy too.
