Lavender is definitely one of those polarizing ingredients in food; I think you either love it or hate it. The hubs hates it and always says it tastes like soap - so all I can say is more for me! This cocoa recipe has been a winter staple for the last couple years and I have perfected the recipe to one serving for the aforementioned reasons.
I am also in the beginning of what I am calling my
Hygge challenge, which is basically using this Danish concept to intentionally
set out some quiet, leisurely moments in my day. They will hopefully involve a tasty beverage, some cozy clothes and blankets, reading or a fun craft that I always
talk myself out of because it is not "purposeful", but most importantly savoring these little moments and being appreciative that winter forces us to slow down a bit and give us
this time.
It is no secret to those that know me well, that I am not a winter fan, so I often try to combat this with keeping myself really busy. While this tends to work and I get
quite a lot accomplished, I'm not sure it is always the best approach because I am seldom living in the moment during this time. So here's to Denmark!
