With so much time on our hands at home, many of us may get bored of the same old routines. Even though this circuit breaker is not a productivity contest, trying out something new could spice up your time. With more and more people using TikTok to pass time, different trends always seem to appear on user’s feeds. One of these trends include trying out simple, step-by-step recipes at home. Here are five recipes that you could try to satisfy your sweet or savoury tooth.
1. Dalgona Coffee
