I made these mugs in late March and have glazed them to look like the coffee they contain. In both mugs are eight ounces of Americano coffee enhanced with cream and brown-sugar Simple Syrup. It is my wildly optimistic pipe dream that I will one day offer the mug of her choice to a future Special Someone, so that we might sit across from each other at a breakfast table and sip from our coffee-glazed coffee mugs while enjoying each other’s peaceable company. Hope survives, steamy and eternal!
