The first thing I did this morning was make a mug of English breakfast tea, usually I would have rosehip and hibiscus tea when I get up but I was feeling a strong need
I’ve been wanting to make this specific dip for a while now and I am so glad I finally got around to making it. So creamy, full of flavour and versatile.
