Heat up almond milk and throw in unsweetened baking chocolate and good vanilla extract. Perfect every time.

I drink apple cider vinegar cold during the (humid Texas) summer and one glass of vinegar and water can quench my thirst when 4 liters of normal water can't. I've heard it tastes quite nice hot as a tea type beverage.

I make my own tea with fresh ginger, slices of lemon and some leaves from lemon-grass- its very nice hot or cold and also very good for you ! I make it in a tea pot in the morning and keep topping it up throughout the day

Warm red wine with star anis. Not for everyday though.

Yogi's ginger lemon tea; almond breeze's unsweetended almond milk - i put some vanilla powder into this, amazing!

Yogi's Ginger Harmony Tea

The caffeine in black or green tea is the diuretic, so herbal teas (like peppermint) are fine.

I drink coffee and black/green tea with abandon, but I also love herbal teas of all kinds, especially spicy ones. Go to the tea aisle of a natural food store and see what looks good. Hot bone broth is good too -- and actually nutritious unlike most herbal teas. I usually don't have enough on hand to drink it frequently because I use it up in recipes, but when I have had it's delicious, warming & satisfying.

Not really a "drink" per say but I love chicken broth for a cold winters day...

Throw a couple egg whites in boiling chicken broth is perfect for cold days.

As far as warm, low carb drinks are concerned nothing IMHO beats a little coffee.

Ginger is one of my favorite allies. I keep several Mason jars of homemade ginger tea ready in the fridge most of the year, but especially in winter.

I chop a pound of fresh roots and simmer them skin and all for the better part of a day, either on the stove or in a slow cooker. It comes out somewhat concentrated so when I want some I just mix it with more water to taste, heat, and enjoy. I find it has the added benefit of keeping some cold-weather winter-related joint inflammation/stiffness at bay, and is great for any tummy troubles as well as being particularly warming. It mixes well with dandelion root teabags, or fresh lemon juice and a few grinds of sea salt. Stevia sometimes, sometimes not.

This stuff is, hands down, my favorite caffeine-free hot beverage:

We buy it in bulk from Amazon's subscribe & save service.

And if you want a little winter indulgence, this stuff is simply AMAZING. (we sub stevia for the agave nectar, though)

Red tea (Rooibos) has no caffeine. It's not even tea; it's a shrub native to Africa. Try it.

I put some powdered ginger in a mug and pour boiling water over it. Hot. Spicy. No calories.

Caffeine is considered a diuretic, so green tea falls into that category even though the caffeine levels are low. Also yarrow and dandelion.

Oh man. Ok.. umm.. my attempts at keeping you warm:

• Infuse water with herbs, fruit, ginger and then heat up? Hot water with crushed mint and ginger, etc.
• Broth or miso. If you go easy on the miso then the salt with stay low so you're not all dry mouthed and parched
• Cut apple or cranberry cider with water
• So many varieties of tea - go crazypants with options
• Coconut milk with spices, a spoonful of unsweetened cocoa powder - or almond milk if you like it. Chai spices would be good.. you could actually heat up the milk and toss in a Chai tea bag

My person favourite: hot water, lemon, smashed ginger, squeeze of lemon, squeeze of honey. With or without a big fat pour of whiskey :)

I drink peppermint tea literally all day long and it doesn't seem to be a diuretic.

Water. In your vest pocket.

Warm as piss. That's what I use for winter biking.

Actually, I'm a little disappointed that the bottle design looks like it's changed. I can't vouch that this new design will fit the pocket as nice.

There are SO many good herbal teas out there. Yogi's Egyptian Licorice is a fave, and doesn't taste like licorice, more like cinnamon. I also like vanilla rooibos and twig (Kukicha) tea, which has a coffee-like taste and has very low caffeine.

I would say bone broth - it is very satisfying for me, but once I am through with my 30 day hardcore paleo challenge I am going to try to experiment with some coconut milk hot cocoa - something that wouldn't be super sweet, just with the little bit of sugar in the coconut milk, and maybe some cayenne and cinnamon to make it Mayan style. I have a really awesome high quality dutched cocoa powder called Radeburger if you can find it - super chocolately, and just fiber carbs. I also like the tea ideas - I love herbal and flower teas, they have their own sweetness without having to add any.

I like hibiscus tea made from whole dried rose hips. Its tastes almost like wine. Actually i have had worse wines. :)

I'm assuming you already ruled out decaf coffee or an herbal tea? I like teas with cranberry or rose hips in them--almost any flower teas that smell nice are my favorites.

Otherwise, filtered bone broth is definitely a good option, or almost any broth from soup.
