Coconut Milk Latte raw ingredients that are labeled

This simple drink features sweetened coconut milk for creamy, tropical sweetness and cold coffee or espresso for a bold, slightly bitter kick.

Together, these ingredients create a luscious and invigorating beverage, perfect for a refreshing pick-me-up on a warm day.

You’ll need:

Ice cubes
2 to 4 tablespoons of sweetened coconut milk
Cold pre-brewed coffee, instant coffee, or instant espresso

Substitutions And Additions

FLAVORS: You can use this easy recipe as a base for so many different flavored beverages.

Try adding vanilla extract or maple syrup to your coconut latte for extra flavor.

ICE: If you would like to serve this drink warm, simply leave out the ice and use hot coffee instead of the chilled equivalent for a hot latte version.

BREWED COFFEE: For this recipe, you can make a pot of coffee with ground coffee at home and use that for the iced latte.

You can also use leftover coffee that has been stored in the fridge, or you can also use cold brew coffee you find at the local grocery store.

MILK: You can also create a similar latte using almond milk or another dairy-free option as well.
