A nice cup of Indian style chai: black tea, ginger, cardamom, optional other chai masala spices. It should be hot, strong, spicy, sweet, yet refreshing even in the hot afternoon weather of India

or Indian style coffee: strongly brewed or mixed with chicory (personally I like just brewing with Monsoon Malabar beans), mixed with sugar, and milk boiled to the point it slightly caramelizes

The sad thing for me is that I am vegan so I miss out on the milk experience. Most vegan milks don't come close in hot drinks for me. But I'll share the recipe for the closest I've gotten: 1 part soy milk, 1 part nut or grain milk (any, eg. almond or oat), 1 part coconut milk.

There are also some vegan milks that have this kind of blending out there like Not Milk or Wondermilk

Oh also shout-out to that one kombucha I had and tried replicate at home, oak and sage iirc, tasted like a fancy alcoholic drink without the alcohol
