Sweets & treats

While hop-hopping to the Lands of the North when the summer hasn’t arrived yet, your nose becomes a frozen little button and your fingers are looking for some warmth in the pockets of your jacket. Your cheeks are red and your heart feels like it’s beating slower.

In those lands I’ve seen simple lines of glass and ceramic, hosating treats so pretty and cute, like they’ve just jumped out from the hands of Willy Wonka. Chocolate and wipped cream, berries red from the big, cold fields, cocoa and butter, pastry and muesli..

This is my trip to Berlin, Copenhagen and Lund in “café goodies” photos..cause food tells enough about a place..

When the Spring comes, hearts can’t stay in any more. They need space, they need air, they need love. And they were young and a bit excited and a bit confused. In the quiet streets of the city they were arguing, walking, stopping, thinking, talking, kissing and the cold was freezing as the night wasn’t young any more.

And when it’s not love that makes you sick, it’s the cold, the lack of sweet sleep and the thought of tomorrow. I don’t have a remedy for the strong disease of love. But, I sure do have one for the flu.

Thanks for the research and for the old good nostrums mum.

For the best flu spice tea, you will need to put in your tea pot

♥ a cinnamon stick

♥ 1/2 tea spoon of cloves

♥ a few cardamom seeds opened

♥ 1/2 to 1 tea spoon of ginger powder or a 1cm piece of fresh ginger

unfortunately dad had thrown away the ginger root I had in the fridge cause he thought it had gone bad…DAD!!!

♥ the quarter of a lemon

♥ a liter of water

bring them to boil, let them sit for 15-20 minutes and enjoy with some nice honey.

Its mesmerizing aromas make the house smell like a fairytale bakery and it saves the runny little noses and the sore throat of the lost voices from a bad, annoying cold. Who wants to be sick when the weather is getting warm? Finally!!
