Mustard Jar Latte


Nothing like a day in the great outdoors, miles from an espresso machine while immersed in the peaceful splendour of the rainforests of the Border Ranges in northern NSW. My bush walking companions, knowing I would not last the day without a latte top-up, insisted I fill the thermos with a brew of espresso. Unfortunately I wasn't reminded to pack any thing from which to sip this latte substitute. Lucky one resourceful companion emptied out the olives from the mustard jar, which was then hastily rinsed and dried. Well I suppose it did the trick as I managed to get my coffee hit and continue on the day's outing. Such are the hidden perils and potential horrors of a day in nature.
