Pro Tips
- **Fresh sage leaves** work best - dried sage won't give you the same bright flavor
- **Muddle the sage gently** to release oils without making it bitter
- Use **freshly zested orange** rather than pre-zested for the brightest flavor
- **Pre-heat your mug** with hot water to keep your coffee warmer longer
