Date ideas
You and your partner just finished a home spa session. Your muscles feel loose and the room is quiet. This is a good moment to sit down with a drink and talk about what you liked. These eight options use items you likely have in the kitchen already. They take little time to prepare. Pour them into a mug and settle on the couch. The drinks keep the calm feeling going without much effort. You can make one to share or two separate ones.
Action
Boil water in a kettle. Place a chamomile tea bag in a mug and pour the hot water over it. Let it sit for five minutes before removing the bag. This option helps your body settle down after the warmth of the spa.
Pro-Tip
Add a small spoon of honey right after you pour the water. It mixes better while the drink is still hot.
Spicy Twist
Sit facing your partner and take turns saying one detail from the spa you enjoyed.
Action
Slice a lemon and an orange. Put the slices in a mug with ice and fill it with cold water. Stir gently to release some juice. This gives a light taste that feels clean after time in hot water.
Pro-Tip
Use fresh fruit if you have it. Squeeze a little extra juice in if you want stronger flavor.
Spicy Twist
Share the same mug and take turns holding it for each other.
Action
Heat milk in a small pot on the stove. Stir in cocoa powder and a bit of sugar until smooth. Pour the mixture into a mug. This drink feels filling when you want something more substantial after the spa.
Pro-Tip
Use a whisk to avoid lumps in the cocoa. Keep the heat low so the milk does not burn.
Spicy Twist
Drink it while you sit close enough that your arms touch.

Action

Action

After dark
Action
