Julep from orchid root and Christmas tea
A warm, thick drink with a rich taste, usually flavored with cinnamon and found mainly in Eastern cultures, is one of the most delicious, hot drinks options you may find. Julep is produced by the roots of orchids and it will win you over if you just try it.

If you do not experiment with flavors, the special Christmas tea the guys in Mallon Glykys make with a mixture that combines the most popular flavors of the season, is the right alternative for you.

Wine with peppers
Captain George back in '78 in the old port of Limassol, taught Costas that "during the chills" the ideal drink is hot wine with peppers. This is the solution they choose at Fanos Thiellis.

Of course, when the cold gets too harsh, the shop - depending on the inspiration of the day - will serve some hot soup like carrot soup, onion soup, or hummus for lunch.
