When “out of office” isn’t an option, get a taste of relaxation with these easy-to-implement tips
I’m sitting at a booth in my coworking space, typing away on my laptop. To the right of my laptop is a cup of cold brew with a spoon sitting inside. It was used to add two scoops of vanilla ice cream to my afternoon pick-me-up beverage. Why?
Because a cold brew version of an affogato — a scoop of ice cream drowned in a shot of espresso — shouldn’t be enjoyed only when traveling abroad or visiting a coffee shop with friends.
