I Made This For You 🤍
My friend just turned 31 and has somehow become a grandma before her time. If I mention a cup of tea while we’re out, she’s getting ready to leave.
So I decided to meet her halfway.
A sunny afternoon, a pot of peppermint tea, and a slice of cake made just for her: soft hot milk sponge layered with Brazilian brigadeiro cream and winter berry compote, finished with a dusting of icing sugar.
One of the things I’ve learnt is that loneliness doesn’t always look like being alone. Sometimes it looks like staying home one too many times, putting off plans, or forgetting how good it feels to sit across from someone and laugh.
So this is your reminder to invite the friend, bake the cake, pour the tea, and make the time.
This one was made for you. 🤍☕️🍰 recipe is up on my paid substack!
