But sometimes we&#8217;re not in a coffee mood, yet we crave a warm cup to cradle in our hands. Fall is in the air and it&#8217;s the perfect time to try something new. With an abundance of earthy staples like apples and ginger, we can brew some healthy coffee alternatives that are fresh, fun, and easy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"Apple-Spice-Tea\"><strong><span style=\"color: #99cc00\">Apple Spice Tea<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10621 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/appletea-300x200.png\" alt=\"tea\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/appletea-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/appletea.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Have you ever boiled fruit for tea? It\u2019s surprisingly simple and a wonderfully satisfying coffee alternative when you add your favorite herbs and spices. This spicy tea hits the spot for a soothing lift without all the caffeine. Play around with the spice amounts to suit your taste.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1 apple peeled and grated (Gala apples are perfect)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">16 ounces of water<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00bc tsp cinnamon<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1 clove<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">pinch of nutmeg<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bring all ingredients to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes, strain, and sip slowly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"Ginger-Matcha-Green-Tea\"><strong><span style=\"color: #99cc00\">Ginger Matcha Green Tea<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Green tea is the perfect coffee alternative. It has so many health benefits, and when you drink matcha, you consume the whole leaf in power form. If you want a neutral tea with a smoky edge, try matcha. You&#8217;ll experience a grounding effect when you drink it, and ginger adds an anti-inflammatory punch. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1 tsp green tea power <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00bc tsp powdered ginger<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Boil water, add matcha and ginger, and enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"Gourmet-Hot-Chocolate\"><strong><span style=\"color: #99cc00\">Gourmet Hot Chocolate<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thanks to Lindt, hot chocolate will never taste the same again. Use milk or a milk substitute, drop in your favorite truffle, and you have a gourmet hot chocolate ready in minutes. I love to add cinnamon for its blood sugar lowering properties. It\u2019s a great coffee alternative with only a small amount of caffeine from the chocolate. It&#8217;s also a welcome replacement to the boxed hot chocolate mixes that are loaded with chemicals.<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10626 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/lindt-300x200.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/lindt-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/lindt.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1 cup milk or milk substitute<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1 Lindt truffle<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dash of Cinnamon<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bring the milk to a low boil, drop in the truffle, stir, add cinnamon, and indulge!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"Turmeric-Tea\"><strong><span style=\"color: #99cc00\">Turmeric Tea<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CNN chief medical correspondent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/profiles\/sanjay-gupta-profile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Dr. Sanjay Gupta<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> made this one famous.
