Ingredients & Substitutions
I really love using full-fat coconut milk for this latte; it gives it such a rich texture. If you prefer a lighter version, you can use light coconut milk, but I find it doesn’t have the same creaminess. And feel free to experiment with different sweeteners—agave or date syrup can work beautifully too!
Tips & Notes
- •I often make a double batch and save some for later in the fridge—just reheat it gently when I want a cozy treat!
- •If I’m feeling adventurous, I sometimes add a pinch of cayenne for a spicy kick!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll throw in a tablespoon of cacao powder for a mocha twist—so good!
- •You could also blend in a banana for a creamier texture and a natural sweetness—super nourishing!
Storage & Freezing
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Just give it a gentle stir or warm it up before enjoying again!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk?
Absolutely! Almond milk or oat milk would work, but keep in mind the flavor will change a bit. Just make sure it's unsweetened if you're watching sugar.
