Beverages

As spring teases us with bursts of pink and green, I found myself craving a drink that celebrates those awakening senses. The aroma of fresh strawberries, mingling with a whisper of roasted coffee beans, dances in the air as I blend this unusual latte. It’s a sip of sunshine that sparks a memory of early mornings and quiet porch chats.

What makes this strawberry latte stand out is its playful balance of tartness and creaminess, textured with chunks of ripe berries against smooth milk. It’s not just a beverage—it’s a moment frozen in time, where the seasons collide in each sip. I love how this drink gives that fresh fruit sparkle to my everyday coffee routine.
