Spiced Almond Butter

Nut butters are so versatile. Add a dollop to some yogurt or spread on your favourite toast with a banana and a drizzle of honey or with this spiced almond butter stem ginger syrup is delectable! It is a very subtle hint of spice but perfect for that wintery feel at this time of the year!
