Pro Tips for Holiday Brewing

• Use fresh beans: Grind right before brewing for the most flavor.
• Spices matter: Cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice elevate simple coffee.
• Temperature check: Don’t overheat milk — 140–150°F keeps it smooth.
• Experiment: Try Menehune cold brew in hot drinks, or espresso shots in holiday lattes.
