Here’s some tips for your coffee and milk for latte art ☕️
• Use fresh espresso with good crema
• Stick to 1–2 shots max
• Don’t over-aerate - no doubling in volume
• Aim for slight expansion (20–30%) only
• Texture should be silky, like wet paint
• Keep milk fully integrated (no foam layer)
• Tap + swirl before pouring
• Pour immediately

Small details… big difference ☕️

My crunchy nutty granola recipe below ✨

Golden, toasty, and just the right amount of sweet - this is one of those recipes you make once and never go back to store-bought again.

It’s simple, wholesome, and completely customisable. Swap the nuts, play around with the sweetness, or keep it exactly as it is - it just works.

Perfect with yogurt, fresh fruit, or honestly… straight from the jar.

Ingredients
• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1/2 cup chopped almonds
• 1/2 cup halved cashews
• 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 4 tbsp coconut oil, melted
• 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method
1. Preheat oven to 150°C. Line a baking tray with parchment.
2. Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
3. Whisk coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Pour over and mix well (hands work best).
4. Spread evenly on tray. Bake 30-40 mins, stirring half way until golden.
5. Cool completely to crisp up. Store airtight for up to a month.

The best part? You know exactly what’s going into it.
