Magical Mother’s Day Morning

The traditional breakfast in bed goes without saying, and we’re sure mom can already anticipate that it’s going to happen. So why not surprise her with breakfast that is a little different. We have put together 3 easy-peasy recipes for a magical breakfast experience.

The starter: Fruit Salad with Cinnamon Honey Drizzle.

• To make the drizzle: Melt a teaspoon of unsalted butter in a sauce pan, add cinnamon, lemon juice, and 3 teaspoons of honey. Mix these ingredients together until they have combined well. Let cool for a while then stir in 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Stir continuously and bring to the boil for 30 seconds. Turn off the heat and you’re done.

Chop your desired fruit into a bowl and drizzle the cooled cinnamon honey drizzle over it.

Main meal: Ham and Cheese Croissants with Honey & Mustard Glaze and Poppy Seeds.

• Preheat the oven to 150° C. Cut 2 croissants lengthwise and put a slice of mozzarella cheese, 3 slices of good quality ham and another slice of mozzarella cheese in the croissants. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Then mix half a teaspoon of Dijon mustard with a teaspoon of honey. Brush the sauce over the top of the croissants and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Place the croissants in the oven for 5 minutes.

The croissants are ready to serve.

Beverage: Cranberry Iced Green Tea with Fruit-Filled Ice Cubes.

• Fruit cubes: These must be prepared the night before. Rinse and add raspberries and blueberries to an empty ice tray and fill with water. Place in the freezer.
• Iced tea: Brew 2 green tea teabags. Once brewed, removed the tea bags and mix 2 glasses of cold water with the tea. Pour a glass of cranberry juice into a glass and add the fruit cubes. Pour the now-chilled tea into the jug and mix.

If desired, add sugar.
