Spring is coming. After social distancing for the past two years, isn’t this a good time to enjoy sitting in cafés and breathe some city air?
One positive effect of the pandemic is the rapidly increasing demand for sustainable alternatives when traveling. Many of the things you should consider when traveling to rural areas also apply to city trips. Two points are particularly important in your planning of your sustainable city trip : the choice of the accommodation and the means of transport. For the journey, choose climate-friendly means of transport if possible. Most major cities in Europe are well-connected to the rail network. This means you can travel in a climate-friendly way and arrive relaxed at your destination. Cities are best explored on foot, by bike or by public transport.

Here are a few special features of the recipe—don’t worry, though; it’s super easy, just not your run-of-the-mill lemon cake:
Organic spelt flour instead of wheat flour: Spelt is considered more natural than wheat, is easier to digest, contains more minerals, and has a nutty flavor. It’s a conscious choice that benefits your health and the environment because spelt is usually easier to grow.
Oil instead of butter: Vegetable oil makes the dough moist, makes the cake vegan, and has a smaller carbon footprint than animal butter, which is considered one of the most climate-damaging foods.
Chamomile tea as a liquid: The biggest surprise is probably the use of freshly brewed chamomile tea. It makes the dough wonderfully moist and gives the cake a delicate, almost floral note. Tip: Let the tea steep well so that the aroma comes into its own. SANDnature uses “Smooth Operator” organic chamomile tea from the tea manufacturer Samova.
Turmeric for flavor and color: This “super spice” not only gives the cake a golden yellow color, but also adds light, exotic flavors.
