# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent but comes together faster than brewing a full cup of coffee.
  • The contrast between cold cottage cheese and warm honey creates this surprisingly addictive rhythm on your tongue.
  • You control every layer, so it never feels like eating the same thing twice.
02 -
  • If your granola is old and stale, no amount of honey will save it—taste it straight from the box first, because stale granola becomes the single weak point in an otherwise perfect bowl.
  • Cold cottage cheese next to warm honey is the entire point; if everything goes room temperature, you lose the play between temperatures that makes this sing.
03 -
  • Make a batch of hot honey at the beginning of the week and keep it in a jar by your cereal—you'll use it on everything, from avocado toast to roasted vegetables.
  • If your berries are past their peak, frozen ones thawed at room temperature work just as well and sometimes taste more intense.
