Ever sipped a peppermint latte and thought, why does this taste like candy cane syrup? That was me last winter: excited for a cozy drink, only to end up with something way too sweet and a little… fake. After trying a few store-bought syrups that missed the mark, I figured it was time to make…
I’m not exactly a gym bro, but I do enjoy working out and staying in shape. A few years ago, I made the switch and stopped adding sugar to my coffee. Not because I hated it, but because I was trying to clean up my habits. I started eating more whole foods and cutting back…
Love chocolate? Love coffee? Same here! Combine the two, and you’ve got magic in a cup. I’ve always been that person who orders a mocha year-round, even when it’s not on the menu. There’s just something about the rich cocoa mixed with bold espresso that hits all the right notes. But when summer rolls in…
Is your coffee craving clashing with summer heat? So, imagine this: it’s the middle of July, and I’m sweating thinking about turning on the espresso machine. I still need my coffee fix (obviously), but hot drinks? Nope, wasn’t gonna happen. That’s when I came across the idea of an iced mint latte, and honestly, it…
Ever get stuck in a long Starbucks line just for an iced vanilla latte? I used to go all the time especially during summer when I craved something cold and sweet. But eventually, the waiting, the prices, and the mystery ingredients started to wear me down. Don’t get me wrong, Starbucks gets creative with their…
Lately, I’ve been on a little mission of testing out all sorts of homemade coffee drinks, from classics to the slightly wild. But the idea for this one took me straight back to being a kid. I used to sneak spoonfuls of Nutella right out of the jar (didn’t we all?), then finally slap it…
Some coffee drinks just stick with you. For me, it’s the gingerbread latte. There’s this one cup I made years ago on a freezing December morning. Ever since then, I catch myself thinking about it from time to time… even when it’s not winter. Something about the mix of ginger, cinnamon, and molasses hits differently….
There are two things I actually look forward to when winter rolls around and it’s not the freezing mornings or scraping ice off the windshield. I’ve never been a fan of cold weather. But the holiday season? That’s my excuse to shamelessly indulge in two of my favorite drinks: the cozy Gingerbread latte and my…
Last winter, I turned my kitchen into a full-on coffee lab. I was testing every drink I could think of: maple lattes, spiced mochas, you name it. One night, I stumbled across a YouTube Short showing a barista torching marshmallows and swirling chocolate syrup like it was a work of art. It looked ridiculously good….
Let’s just say, being from Canada, maple syrup isn’t just a kitchen staple, it’s kind of a personality trait. We put it on pancakes, in sauces, even sneak it into cocktails. But I never thought of using it in coffee… until one lazy fall morning, I ran out of vanilla syrup. So there I was,…
