Great idea! The spice gives these pancakes that extra tasty and yummy feel. I love spices and anything with spices goes in my top list of dishes I like to indulge in.

Metal Cups and Sweet Tea – A Heartfelt Story of a Kenyan Village


In a small, tranquil Kenyan village, metal cups and sweet tea hold more than just the promise of refreshment—they represent tradition, community, and the spirit of togetherness. This story takes you on a journey through the lives of villagers, where every sip of tea shared strengthens bonds and brings people closer. Dive into this heartfelt narrative that captures the essence of rural life and the simple joys that unite us all. I have been away for so long I miss being in the kitchen. But I travelled to grandmas at the village where I have been so relaxed that I forgot city life... just a bit... I promise. Today's post is random since it's about my stay at the village with grandma. I love Tea and if anybody knows, great tea is in how it is prepared.
