Blackberry Bramble

November 21, 2015

Well alas, winter is finally here in Calgary.  Our fair city is blanketed in snow and truth be told, I think it’s just beautiful!  There is nothing like the first snowfall!  Unless you have to be on the roads, in which case it can be frustrating, please be safe.

If you’ve made it through the week and the first snowfall safe and sound, I’ve got the perfect way to celebrate.  This Blackberry Bramble is divine.  The warm and spicy flavours from cinnamon and cloves, makes it the perfect drink for a cool fall night.  Enjoy!
