We got our first snow of December yesterday. Prospect Park in Brooklyn had a lovely coat, especially on the meadow. After a nice walk, impromptu snowball fight (in which I emerged victorious), and a log roll (I lost handily) it only made sense to have a tasty mocha.
Because I’m somewhat lactose intolerant, it’s made with almond milk instead of cow’s milk. As an added bonus, my Christmas tree arrived upon getting home!
