Freshness –

As we are already scorching it is absolutely imperative hat we use freshness in our recipes. What does this mean?

In saying this you could do a simple affogato and enjoy it with biscotti/shortbread/biscuits/cookies. When I say cold I also mean frozen desserts which spills into the scoops of ice cream.
