Fika

If you’ve ever met a Swede, you’ve heard about fika. Fika is all about having yourself a dark roast, some sweets and good company and take the time to have a chat. The only thing that could still be missing in this utopian concoction would be… Mead?

Therefore Mel and fika, a pun on the word malefica which is an old timey way of saying witch.
