    The story

    Fig leaves steeped in warm cream until it turns faintly green and starts smelling improbably of coconut, which is what fig leaves do and which almost nobody believes until they smell it. That cream goes over a gentle milk chocolate base. On paper it is a strange drink and we have watched people read the description twice before ordering it. In the cup it is the most comforting thing we make. The leaves come from a tree in the owner's mother's garden, which will become a problem if this gets any more popular than it already is.

    Allergens: milk. Always confirm with venue staff before ordering.
