Peak and Valley Nourish My Brain Blend

Since Octave got a fancy coffee machine, I've been looking for alternatives to coffee he could still have fun with to make me lattes in the morning. My current faves: matcha, homemade chai, turmeric. I was recently sent the Nourish My Brain Blend by Seattle-based and black-owned brand

A Caffeine-Free Chai Mix Recipe

Sometimes I buy things without even thinking that I could make them myself or without even realizing that I have all the ingredients right at home! That's what happened when I opened my pantry and looked for what I could learn how to make this year. Chai was

The Perfect Oat Milk Latte Recipe

Over the past couple years, Octave has gotten really into coffee and it has made my gift giving really easy. It all started with a Home Barista Class, which was followed by a Milk Steaming and Latte Art Class and ended with a Home Coffee Roasting workshop. The next step

How to Make Almond Milk at Home

I can still hear my friend Elisa saying this, one night when a couple of friends and I were having dinner at her place: "Humans are the only mammals who still drink milk once they've reached adulthood". That was close to ten years ago! I remember

How to Brew Jun, the Honey-Based Kombucha

At my local farmer's market, there's a Community Table where people can sell what they make, or extra produce they have from their garden. A couple of weeks ago, I read on the market's Facebook page that Vera was hosting a kombucha workshop there

While living in Switzerland and looking for a better alternative to my usual milk and cereal breakfast, I came across a chia pudding recipe. As chia seeds were pretty hard to find and/or pretty expensive there, I did try it a few times, and then forgot about it. And,
