How To Café Like A True Parisian (& Yes, It's A Verb)

Paris winters are rainy and grey. These hot drinks help ward off the chill.

Citron Pressé Chaud: Like a regular citron pressé (see above), but with hot water replacing the cold. Sometimes a spoonful of honey is added. “It’s the best for sore throats,” says Alain. “Bistro medicine!”

Chocolat Chaud: Also called chocolat au lait, this is one of the few beverages enjoyed in the morning and afternoon.

Tisane: The word means herbal tea and popular varieties include verbena (verveine), mint (menthe), and tilleul (made from the flowers of the lime or linden tree).
