maple cardamom latte

It was a very busy weekend for us and I'm extremely thankful for this frothy beverage to help put a little spring into our steps today. There is something very ritualistic about our morning cup of coffee and I absolutely love sitting in the farm kitchen with Taylor sipping out of pipping hot mugs while discussing the days chores. It's a sacred time of day and I look forward to it while I'm still lying in bed the night before. This morning we decided to get a little fancy with our morning brew and these lattes were a wonderful treat. I don't know about you all but cardamom is one of my absolute favorite spices. There is a bakery near the farm that makes killer cardamom rolls (White Salmon Baking Company) and coincidently we go there weekly to drop off produce that we sell to them. I obviously can't drop off veggies without purchasing a few cardamom rolls to bring home. They're to die for and were the inspiration for these lattes. I hope you all enjoy this coffee drink as much as we do. It's warming, spicy, sweet and oh so tasty! Grab your favorite mug and whip these up soon. Cheers to a great morning!
