Not-so-plain-latte-kind-of-day!

Are you one of those who always sweared by the basics when it came to coffee, cappucino, latte, espresso etc?

I was, for a very long time, i left the complicated stuff to my local barista, pumpkin spiced latte, i would say with the biggest grin on my face!

I slowly learned though, that with a little effort & some creativity i could put together the conventional kind, don't get me wrong, conventional is the best, one can never never contest the effectiveness of an espresso shot on a hangover morning, the happiness latte can bring on a Monday morning. 

But there are times, when I have a couple of friends over or i feel like a little indulgence, for that moments my current favourite is the White Chocolate Latte! The combination of sweet white chocolate & slightly bitter espresso does the trick.

I'll share one of my most favourite recipes. It's ridiculously easy & delicious, whip yourself one today!
