Bedtime drinks

[RedThorn]

milo, sent all the way from NZ for me....the stuff in the supermarket here is vomit inducing!!!

Agreed, the milo in SA is better too.

Urgh yuk. last drink of the day for me is a nice cuppa tea.

[Bren In Pots]

Mostly its hot chocolate unless I've had a beer then I don't bother but I always take a beaker of water to bed in case I get thirsty.

Same here Bren!!

( my granny used to keep her teeth in her beaker/glass of water next to her bed..fortunately my teeth still live in my skull!!! )

I used to like the horlicks sweets....never see em now?

Me too, wish you could get them now
Hot choc or whisky works for me

[jackie j]

We drink a glass or two of wine of an evening, along with water, and always take a glass of water to bed. I do like the idea of a hot choccy bedtime drink, but get put off by the fact that I'd have to clean my teeth again after drinking it!

Decaf coffee and a nice piece of dark choccy for us

[ladylottie]

Oh Snadge - I'd forgotten about those horlicks tablets, I used to love them. Haven't seen them for years.

I always take a cup of Tesco Value Hot Chocolate to bed with me (it's only 50p for a huge jar). It's lovely, much nicer than Lidl and Aldi's cheapo brands. Sometimes I eat it with a spoon as well. I do like Ovaltine and Chocolate Horlicks but don't buy them very often.

There's always a bottle of water on the bedside table in case I need a drink in the night.

[lizzylemon]

warm milk for me - sometimes sneek the daughters!!

[Jardiniere]

cant buy horlicks in france so usually bring a jar back with us but it doesnt last long...you can buy ovaltine but its called ovamaltine.....dont drink coffee...tea makes me pee.....wine gives me acid reflux drunk too late at night ......herb teas are better ...chamomile, vanilla and honey is best .......

Cold chocolate milk, the powder in the yellow box from Lidl is great. I used to buy Milo in Germany, but it's too sweet for me.

If I fancy hot cocoa, I get OH (the joys of being married to a chocolatier) to make it properly with the darkest chocolate we possess - at present, that's a Madagascar at 87% cocoa solids. A splash of (medicinal) brandy is a must in this weather too!

I am so spoiled, got the bottom to prove it.

Much like Rhona - we have a couple/few glasses of wine of an evening, and like many of you we take a pint/beaker of cordial to bed for the middle of the night waking up with a mouth like an iguana's armpit situations.

[braders]

I Like a glass of red in the evening...( like now )...but always have water.
