I used to drink coffee everyday. I wouldn’t call myself a java junkie, I don’t have to start my day with caffeine, though I do enjoy a latte with lots of silky foam on top. When my dad was here to visit over the holidays, he got me hooked on to black tea with milk. He made it over the stove, throwing in two bags of tea into the simmering water, and since he has a heavy hand when it comes to anything sweet, he went through a litre of raw, unpasteurized honey fairly quickly. If you peeked into the jar, you would find craters of honey where he scooped up the golden liquid.
It doesn’t taste the same
when I make it, though that is most likely because of love and affection that
goes into making cups of tea for my mom and me. Besides, it’s always better
when someone else makes something for you, especially someone I don’t see
often. So since the start of the year, I’ve been making milky teas every
morning for work. A hot beverage helps keep me wake for my hour long commutes
long before the sun rises.
If you are a serious
coffee addict though, here’s a cake that deserves the Coffee Fanatic Seal of Approval.
It smells amazing, there are teeny bits of ground coffee throughout the cake,
my favourite part is the delicately crunchy crust with a tender crumb.
