Here we are, December 24. Firstly, I´d like to wish you Merry Christmas, pleasant atmosphere around Christmas tree and also lack of stress, I think we had enough of it so far. Secondly, new recipe is here. Not for a cake, as usually, since you have probably been eating cakes and cookies for few days until now, but for a drink, namely Hot Christmas Orange Juice. I´ve got a flu and I´m on antibiotics so an alcoholic drink is out of the question. Hot chocolate isn´t the best option either. But this Orange Juice Drink is exactly what you take when you´re sick and also when you´re sick of ginger tea. You can also feel Christmas coming, thanks to Christmas spices, and you don´t even have to drink a punch. And if you´re healthy, you can drink it just like that, to warm up during a winter. Anyway, it´s suitable for everybody. It´s actually hot orange juice with Christmas spices, so it´s not difficult at all, only tasty
