Non-coffee coffeeshop drink that I'm a touch surprised didn't make it into this video: hot chocolate! It may seem obvious but I definitely think it counts. Speaking only for the northern hemisphere here, of course, but the colder months are approaching so a nice hot chocolate goes a long way. I can understand not featuring it in the video, though, because it can be something of an ordeal to do one really well.

I appreciate how open you are to non-coffee drinkers. No judgement for the reasons to not want to drink coffee and that is so refreshing to me. I mind most coffee people either shame me or pity me for not partaking.

I’m not even done watching the video, but I wanted to say I really appreciate you giving us pointers on How To Order these drinks. I haven’t gone to many coffee shops in my life, and as someone with anxiety, the taste is one thing, but the ordering process is what makes me nervous. So thank you!

I find white chocolate syrup to be a great pairing with matcha. Not only does it add sweetness, but the cocoa butter and vanilla flavor pairs really well with the earthiness.

My local coffee shop serves a twist on the London Fog around Valentine's Day that they call the London Rose. It has vanilla and rose syrup in it, and it's lovely (although obviously quite floral). I have also tried and enjoyed lavender syrup in it.

I absolutely love Chai Lattes. For me it's literally like a hug in a mug, an Autumny/Christmasy hug in a mug. As someone who loves that mixture of both spice and sweetness it's just perfect. I went to a cafe once where I had Bacon, Brie and Cranberry in a sourdough roll with a chai latte. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Would love to try the others too. I think I had the London Fog once and it was very good too.

though it's not a commonly ordered drink or a commonly known name, I like to order a "London Smog" which is the London Fog with a shot of espresso

One of the most bizarre experiences I had was the day I ordered a hot matcha latte at a new place for the first time, and was served a coffee that had the matcha mixed in. I don’t drink coffee, and don’t like coffee, so it was a horrible surprise. I mentioned this to the worker who made my order, and she got so nasty with me about it???? Nowhere in the drink's menu description is coffee mentioned, so I knew she made it wrong, but she acted like I called her a stupid b to her face! I did end up getting a corrected drink, but it was a wild experience. Thankfully since then I haven't had the same experience, or seen that worker (I suspect she didn’t last long at that job). Matcha lattes are my go-to. And for anyone looking to make it at home, cafe-style, I recommend the matcha latte mix by the brand Jade Leaf. It's available in the US at target and on amazon, and it works out to about $1/serving

I'm in the UK and Earl Grey is still popular here, but I've never heard of a London Fog before. My favourite way to have Earl Grey is with lemon instead of milk.If the London Fog is a stormy Friday, with lemon it's a sunny summer Sunday.

I do want to say that some flavor syrups and teas contain enough acid to curdle milk, so some tea lattes/steamers won't work without coffee to balance out the pH. Your barista will probably let you know while you order, but there is a small chance of your order not being possible! I had a regular who really wanted a tea latte with our raspberry hibiscus tea and didn't believe me until I made it for them. The texture was horrific.

one thing I had a customer ask for that I started having as a shift drink is a cider chai. It's one part (ish) chai concentrate to 2 parts apple cider, and I like to to a little cinnamon and caramel for garnish. It just adds a little bit more complexity to apple cider, and it's perfect for fall if you don't want coffee. Apple cider definitely isn't at all coffee shops, but if they have it, its for sure worth a try. You could probably also do this with apple juice and reverse the proportions if they have juice and not cider to kind of cheat your way into it

London Fogs are literally one of my go to drinks (I love coffee but it gives me anxiety so I can have one on days I don't have anything later, and I can't have it late at night)

One of my favorite non-coffee drinks that you can sometimes find in Mexican specialty coffee shops is tascalate. It's a spiced chocolate served cold with ice, and it's delicious!!

I'm usually a chai guy but if I'm not sure a place has good chai I love a London fog. Also if you're mixing your own chai I HIGHLY recommend making sure you get some cardamom in there. It's a little pricy as far as spices go but it's 100% worth it. I don't know if it's a traditional inclusion I'm chai though so do with that what you will.

One of our classics here in Australia, replacing the Italian soda, is a ‘Spider.’ A fizzy drink of some kind (cola, lime, solo, ginger beer, etc.) and a scoop or two of Icecream. Very pleasant experience.

Been watching your content for a while and I've never enjoyed coffee. Your content is still intriguing and fun, and I find the coffee scene very chill and interesting. Cool to see you cater some content to non-coffee drinkers for a change!

I make steamers all the time at home, though I had no idea they had a formal name. I call them '____ milk'. My favorites are honey milk with spices (mostly cinnamon and nutmeg), ginger milk, maple syrup milk with spices (mostly cloves), and candy cane milk (that one turns pink!), and of course hot chocolate is always good (though I usually like to melt in my own chocolate and cocoa powder in rather than instant mix).

I lived in South Africa for 13 years and there was a herbal tea that we drank there called Rooibos (Red Bush) tea. It's very nice black with a little honey, but wondered if it was a tea you'd ever used or if you would be able to suggest a new recipe to try using Rooibos 🙂💕

"it tastes like a thunderstorm on a Friday evening" YES! Perfect description! I always love to drink London Fog Lattes when it is cold and rainy out. Also, as others have said, another one would be hot chocolate. My non-coffee drinking friends always seem to order hot chocolate when we go into coffee shops. Great video! I'm going to try some of the other drinks!

Thank you so much for turning me onto Chai tea! I am a hardcore coffee lover but I need to reduce my caffeine consumption due to health problems. Since watching this video I was brave enough to finally try something else! You’re very charming and I enjoy your videos so much.

Here in South African the go to drink that is non coffee is Red Cappuccino/Latte, which is Rooibos Tea which is made the same way as Cappuccino/Latte and honey on top.

A variation I like of the London Fog is to use a tea called Paris from Harney and Sons. I know the obvious name would be Paris Fog, or perhaps Parisian Fog, but I call it Mist over the Seine.

I'm very happy we got more options now than just a regular black or herbal tea and hot chocolate in my area. I can't drink coffee due to health reasons, so I'm happy I can choose from multiple drinks. I totally fell in love with chai latte and whenever I'm in a coffeeshop that makes chai latte, I'm definitely going for it.

One drink I look forward to each year is a hot spiced apple drink our local place does. It's basically a hot mulled apple juice. It's autumnal, sweet and spicy and non caffeinated for days when I've already had too much coffee. It's not super common but when I can find it I am very happy.

In the Netherlands, we drink essentially a Anis-flavoured steamer, we simply call it anismilk. It is delicious, would highly recommend giving it a try

I have quite a caffeine limit but tea is usually in that limit. I usually get a chai latte or a hot chocolate. I am in Michigan so a hot apple cider is often an option too.

London Fog, Chai and Matcha are my go tos at coffee shops because i don't drink a lot of coffee. However, if i go to a new place, I always try to get their special tea lattes. I like that you mentioned we can ask for milk variations because there's nothing I hate more than tea lattes that tastes like water-downed milk with zero tea flavor. Also, it's worth it to try making chai at home. It's so good!

Brewed cacao is something I’d like to see you explore. Either the traditional cacao exiles, or the brewed roasted cacao nibs.

Canada loves to name all the foods we invent after other places. London fog, hawaiian pizza, california roll.

I've had a matcha latte with white chocolate (I think the shop called it a white Zen or Zen latte) which was good for a sweeter matcha. I like to try chai with different kinds of milk as I feel they each create a different flavor profile, as do different blends of chai. I enjoy iced tea with coconut or other fruit flavors. I often order drinks half-sweet so they aren't over-the-top sweet.

Iced matchas and London fogs are my favorites to make at home! I got this lavender earl grey earlier this year (Wight Tea Co.) and it’s soooo good, I’ve made London fogs with a handful of earl greys, but one of them did taste like fruity pebbles 😬😂 take that as you will. I love the smell of coffee, but am not a big fan of the taste, I just might try a chai late with a shot of espresso now though!

The chai latte can also be done at home with a bagged chai found at most grocery stores. Just follow the same instructions as a London fog, plus side to this is you can steep it to how strong you want it, and you control how sweet it is.

I very much appreciate you making this video! So often the world seems to forget about us non-coffee drinkers. As someone who cannot stand the taste of coffee or green tea, chai and its variations have been my go-to ever since I discovered cafes in the late 90's. Out of all the combinations I've tried, hot or cold, my absolute favorite has to be a chai frappe* made with an ice cream flavor called gingersnap molasses, although anything in the autumn-adjacent flavors works quite similarly, and chocolate ice creams are an excellent variation as well. It's probably been about a decade since I've made one for myself, mostly because not many grocery stores in my area carry the chai concentrate, so I'm a bit reluctant to guess at the ratios. I believe it started with 2 scoops of ice cream, and a similar amount of ice, followed by the 50/50 mix of chai concentrate and milk to whatever consistency you enjoy your frappes*. I like them on the sweeter and thicker side, so I'd often be naughty and add an extra scoop of ice cream. I usually blend it enough that it can be drunk easily through a straw, but not so much that you completely lose the ice texture. *Note, I'm using my local New England terminology here: a milkshake is just shaken milk. A frappe - pronounced frap, not frap-ay - is a milkshake plus ice and ice cream

as someone who doesn't really like steamed milk, I don't think any of these are for me, but I really appreciate you making these kinds of videos! I watch you for the food science and the weird stuff, and I have a great time doing that.

One thing I like to do is something probably abhorrent and is choco-chai-latte. It pairs so well together.

My(former) workplace used presweetened Matcha, so when i first tried Matcha from elsewhere i found it weird that it was bitter(but I liked it better)

I like matcha unsweetened but my daughters like it sweetened with a little maple syrup which I think sweetens it without detracting from the yummy umami flavour.

can confirm, we have all of these at starbucks (usa) except for italian soda. noted differences, for reference: - matcha powder is pre-sweetened (more sugar than matcha, actually) and is steamed directly into the milk (or shaken, if iced) - london fog tea latte is half hot water + earl grey tea, half steamed milk, sweetened with vanilla syrup. can also be ordered iced if you're willing to wait an extra 5 minutes for the tea to brew. if you don't like earl grey or vanilla there's also the "english breakfast tea latte" which uses english breakfast tea and liquid cane sugar (like a darker simple syrup), or you could ask for a "custom tea latte" made with any of our teas or syrups - we actually DO call it a "chai tea latte" here (lol). the chai concentrate is pretty sweet, containing sugar, honey, AND vanilla. we also have actual chai teabags available, so don't forget the "latte" part or you might end up with a "brewed chai tea" instead (unsweetened, no milk, just tea bags and hot water). make sure to specify how many shots you want if ordering a dirty chai -- it's not an official menu item but most of us know what you mean. not topped with cinnamon by default but you can totally ask for it (no upcharge) - several different steamer options: "steamed milk" is exactly what it sounds like. steamers with sweeteners are officially called "crémes" ("vanilla créme", "pumpkin spice créme", etc.) but everyone calls them steamers anyway. also they come with whipped cream in case they weren't already decadent enough - again, no soda but if you're avoiding caffeine we do have apple juice which you can order cold, steamed, or made into a "caramel apple spice" (steamed apple juice with cinnamon dolce syrup, whipped cream, and caramel drizzle)

This is really useful! Ive been stuck with hot chocolates all my life, this is a great opportunity to broaden my horizons! Also tip: for people who want caffeine and can stand a LITTLE bit of the coffee flavor but the usual mocha is still too much: hot chocolate with an espresso shot.

In Aotearoa (New Zealand) it's common to have hot blackcurrant cordials on the menu at cafes and that's often what I'll go for if I've already had a coffee and don't want something with more caffeine, or a hot lemon honey ginger.

Oh no! The clock is missing! How will we know what time it is in Morgan land?

I grew up getting vanilla steamers when my parents got coffee, love to see them brought up in videos! 🥰

In sweden we have milk bars so the steamer would fit amazing there

I tried the London fog for the first time today and omg where has this been my whole life! I like coffee but prefer tea on most days and this was a game changer. I don't have a steamer or anything fancy so I used a frother for the milk and it worked just fine:)) Thank you so much for all these recipes, Morgan!

She’s bacckkkkk! 🎉🎉

Thank you so much. Years of seeing my mother down at least five cups of coffee a day every day left me very uninterested in that beverage when I grew up. My mother did eventually cut down on coffee significantly, and I no longer hate it on principal, but it's still always seems like the last thing I'm interested in on the coffee shop menu lol. I have explored the non coffee drink lists and tried a few of the things you suggested, but I'm always at a lost not really knowing what to try differently. I always like trying something new, and now I know what to ask if I want some change.

I LOVE Dirty Chai's. Hearing you talk about them made me realize it's a been a looonnnggg time since I've had one.

Morgan, I would love to see you learn to make a traditional chia. The brewing methods are different. It would be fun if you could collab with someone and learn how their family makes it.

I loved that you were explained chai concentrate syrup and also trying not to say chai tea kudos to you

i've never been able to drink coffee because the smell makes me nauseous so hopefully this video is useful!!!

GENERAL KENOBI! Side note I never clicked on a video so fast 😂

Morgan, I really loved that you included how to order the drink, or what to ask for if a drink is not on the menu. Coffee shops can be so intimidating if you aren’t familiar with their culture or the lingo. Just another added touch that makes your videos so great! 😊

i was having a bad day but watching this made it so much better i really dunno why but the way you describe how to make each of the tea and the description of how each tastes, just somehow feels very soothing :)

I struggle to find it in the US, but when I briefly lived in South Africa, I got a Cape Town Fog, which is just a London Fog with rooibos instead. Naturally decaf, hard to get wrong (it's pretty hard to oversteep rooibos, even if you literally leave the leaf in the tea for an indefinite time), and very tasty!

I love the tea lattes. I have tried many different kinds and they are all enjoyable. Matcha & Chai lattes are yummy, too. I’m not picky.

I’m gonna try a London fog. That sounds good. I’m a coffee drinker and really love all coffee. Thx for the video because it’s always good to accommodate those who don’t drink coffee. ❤️🥰☕️

I usually only watch your shorts, but your voice is just as calming as those videos!

Lotus drinks have quickly become my go-to option when I'm not in a coffee mood!! My local coffee shop makes them with or without the lotus energy concentrate (without is basically an Italian soda) but they're so refreshing and tangy and delicious!!

my little sis loves getting starbucks, or just a fun drink from a shop in general. so one day instead of hitting the drive through we went to a local shop, and i encouraged her to get a italian soda. She was blown away! i got to have my nice little coffee and she got to enjoy her own curated drink. it was so much more fun to go to the little shop and now its our little ritual when she earns a treat.

i highly recommend mixing and matching flavors for your italian sodas! my favorite at the moment is mint + blackberry

when i was in high school i frequented a local indie coffee shop and would request a mystery latte, 2 flavour shots that were up to the barista. they had quite a few flavour syrups and got some really interesting flavour combos that way. A strange favourite was lavender and toasted marshmallow

Also in the Netherlands, hot apple cider is a common wintery non-coffee coffeehouse drink

As a non coffee drinker (it gives me a headache but I can have caffeine just not actual coffee) from Canada I would say in Canada a London Fog always has vanilla, Earl Grey milk and vanilla is how you make a London fog...if you don't want it sweet just add vanilla flavoring not a vanilla syrup...most of the ones I have had have a lot more milk than water as well....more like a steamer but made with earl grey tea and vanilla but some are milk in tea like in this video.

Love a London Fog. Rather have that than most other things. And apple-blueberry is my favorite flavor of Italian cream soda. Great video Morgan!

Here in Brazil we have a drink called Queimadinho that is like dark caramel with milk and cinnamon that is very delicious and sweet! I would love to see you make one

My barista recommended the London fog to me because I wanted a chai latte one day when they were out of chai, and I order it on cold days all the time now!!!

I've being following you for a while now, your videos are very interesting, all the techniques, and your love for coffee is very inciting to watch! I never really liked coffee, but I love tea And this video is exactly what I needed 😭I love brewing my little fun drinks, thank you so much! I love matcha for example and drink most of these drinks often🤍

I immediately paused the video and made myself a London Fog. Been craving a hot cup of tea for hours and I had all the ingredients available! Just wish I had a milk frother, but the pan-steamed milk with vanilla and some lavender-infused honey was still good. On another note, I have an unusual allergy to ginger so most Chai mixes are unavailable to me, but I have found an excellent recipe for homemade Chai using cloves, green cardamom pods, and a cinnamon stick, and it's a hit in my family, hot or iced!

This video randomly got recommended to me - ive never watched any coffee/tea related videos. However as someone who cant drink cafe coffee as it upsets my stomach, im definitely going to note down these options! Ive had a few matcha lattes which I love, however where I live there are not many shops that serve them. Will have to see if i can get the others here as well :)

While I was in France I discovered what they call a diabolo, which could be a variant of the italian soda. It is sparkling lemonade with a choice of syrup. I loved it and make it at home now.

This is so lovely! Lately I have found myself unable to drink much coffee anymore because recently the smell has been making me nauseous, so it's nice to see what other alternatives are out there.

I hope this video becomes the start of a Morgan Drinks Tea series! ❤

Another sweetener that tastes amazing with Chai is molasses. It adds that great fall feal.

London fog is one of my favourites. I'm not an earl grey drinker normally but fogs are so cozy and comforting

London Fog soy milk latte is one of my top non-coffee choices. For decaf day steamers, warm oat milk with brown sugar syrup is tasty. In cold weather, I love steamed whole milk with honey.

I just found this channel out and it's very good content for a first glance. Thank you

I've never enjoyed coffee, but I love watching your videos! These drinks all look and sound so delicious, especially the matcha!

I have a very low caffeine tolerance- milk teas/tea lattes with black tea are about my limit, and even they can be too much on a bad day. I was very excited for this video! One of my favorite drinks I've ever had was a shop specialty (our shop is part of a chain, but the baristas working there have a sign where they put their favorite drinks that they've concocted). My favorite was called a "Churro Latte" in their shop, which was a latte (which I made a steamer instead), but had vanilla powder, "cookie butter" powder, and cinnamon. The cookie butter really gave it that churro-like taste. At home, I use the cookie butter powder with a chai powder mix (less caffeine), then add milk and a dash of cinnamon and/or pumpkin spice creamer. Super good! I want to make some cinnamon simple syrup so I don't have to buy a whole creamer just for the cinnamon flavor.

My usual order at my favorite coffee shot is a hot chocolate (they use dark chocolate) with a shot of espresso in it❤so good

Thank you so much! For some reason i can not stand a single drop of coffee in any drink or food but i love your tiktoks and yt videos so much ❤ thank you so much! Especially for the tips about ordering

I love all the ideas. I can't wait to try some myself. Thanks Morgan!! 🥰

I just made myself the London Fog and it's amazing. Thank you for this drink, Morgan. 😊

4:40 No, 'bitter' is right. I've had green tea ice cream and 'bitter' is definitely a thing it brought. 9:26 Lapsang souchong is a smoked black tea. It tastes like a campfire smells in a good way - not unlike a peaty whiskey - and if you make a London Fog with that and a little vanilla, it's like drinking warm s'mores but way less destructive to your health. 'Course it needs chocolate to be s'mores and you can add that as syrup alongside the vanilla but I like to nibble on a chocolate square (not a candy bar; chocolate; one of those bars with the cacao percent on it) between drinks. You can also top with whipped cream for the vanilla and grate chocolate over that. 9:53 "Chai tea" is like "ATM machine" anyway. Redundant. 'Chai' means 'tea' in Hindi, where the spiced style is just their default way of having tea.

New to watching your channel! I have been playing with coffee drinks at home while trying to steer clear of caffeine in the evening and I stumbled upon the Steamer myself so it was cool to see it here. My attempt was oat milk (avoiding the ol' dairy), a bit of maple syrup, and a bit of pumpkin pie spice. A pleasant combo for a cool winter evening!

One of my favorites is an iced chai, but with a pump of dark chocolate and orange!

Oooh! The steamer route sounds nice:) thanks for sharing!

Loved this video! I enjoyed your description and history of these drinks. Could have been describing wines

I don't like coffee nor can I handle it, but I still head down to my local coffee shop and enjoy everything else there is to lve about it! It's a shame I don't have those fancy tools to steam milk and such, but maybe one day. you're kind of inspiring me to look int that.

I love coffee, I just watched this because your videos are a joy ❤

A place near me does what they call a ShellShock. It's half lemonade and half chai concentrate and it's amazing. Always iced.

This channel really opened me up to coffee drinks and weirdly enough I kinda just left the interest in coffee behind me last year mid summer, but watching these is getting me back into it and I love it

If you are looking for a switch up from the tea and coffee, some coffee shops, especially local ones, might have hot apple cider during autumn. Some things you can add are chai mix, cinnamon, or caramel. One thing I would avoid with apple cider is any kind of milk, even non-dairy, as the cider will curdle the milk.

I've been recently turned on to London Fog and it's my new favorite! So yummy.

I love getting italian sodas from coffee shops! I'm so happy that you included them in this video! :)

thank you! the algorithm happened to put this before me, and i am glad it did! i have been fairly convinced by something somewhere that Chai Latte was a chai-spiced coffee drink (see also, pumpkin spice!). next time i get dragged into a coffee shop, i have some more options than hot cocoa or plain tea!

Amaretto syrup in London Fog is my absolute favourite

This is so cool! Very helpful, and thank you for helping out with how to order them too! I do also love hot chocolate!

I have an espresso machine at home and I need ideas for a non coffee drinking friend, these are all great inspiration! Thanks for sharing these.

As a Canadian that absolutely hates coffee and most teas, a large London Fog is my go to timmies order for that warm and comforting caffeine boost. Exceptionally perfect now since winter, major assignments and exams are upon us. It always comes with vanilla syrup there and I didn’t even think about it until they ran out one time and the cashier asked if I wanted to replace it with caramel😅. (I also hate caramel syrup but she couldn’t possibly have known that lol.)

Very informative and helpful review; thanks a bunch.
