☕ Step 1: Brew Something Worth Sipping

Whether you’re a coffee snob or a tea loyalist, fika starts with a warm drink. Go for a bold dark roast, a cardamom-spiced latte, or your go-to herbal tea. Bonus points if it’s served in a cute mug.

🍪 Step 2: Bring the Baked Goods

This is where we come in. Lay out a few chokladbollar, cinnamon cookies, or slices of rusk (skorpor). No need to overdo it, just one or two treats can make it feel special.

Pro tip: If you have a fresh baked good, warm your bun slightly before serving. Instant bakery magic.

🕯️ Step 3: Set the Mood

Scandi vibes = soft lighting, cozy blankets, a lit candle, maybe a playlist with mellow tunes. You’re creating a moment, not just a snack break.

🤝Step 4: Invite Someone (or Don’t)

Fika can be solo or social. It works for a date night, a bestie catch-up, or a mid-day reset between meetings. The key is being present.
