3
Gently spoon or pour the sweet vanilla cold foam over the surface.

Ritual Moment
There is always one afternoon when you realize summer is beginning to let go.
The sunlight lands differently.
The air feels a little cooler.
And suddenly, reaching for something cozy doesn’t feel premature.
This is the drink for that afternoon.
Pour something crisp. Give it a cloud of vanilla. Sit somewhere the changing light can find you.
You don’t have to rush into the next season.
Let it arrive softly.
