The next exciting instalment of Flo’s coffee related recipes is one she picked up at the very first market we did at Nairn 5 years ago.

The food demonstations in the big tent were being made with local produce which were also being sold at the market. We supplied the coffee for making these amazing wee mocha muffins.
