this hojicha latte is a little smoky, a little cozy, and topped with red bean sweetened whipped cream for extra decadence. i’m in hardcore cozy mood. soft blankets and cozy socks and wanting to hibernate in my house 24/7 (i do leave for social interaction and work and gymming and pesky things like that). i […]
