Give a dozen hot drinks to people stuck outside

“Approaching one working stranger to hand them a coffee is awkward; doing it twelve times in a morning, you stop rehearsing the line. By the last few it is the easiest thing in the world.”

The Recipe

  1. Pick a cold morning and a route past people who work outdoors: guards, cleaners, traders, drivers.
  2. Buy the drinks a few at a time so they stay hot, and give them out as you go.
  3. Stop for a word with each person, not only the handover.
  4. Keep going until you have given away a dozen.
