You will need

  • A basket
  • A tea towel or piece of fabric

It’s all in the details

Rather than just piling everything into the basket, think about little details to elevate these simple ingredients.

  • Tie the cookies with cooking paper and twine.
  • Decant the milk into a nice vessel.
  • Add a couple of patterned straws.
  • Pop a few napkins into the basket.
