Coconut Coffee
Step into a world of coffee bliss with this refreshing Coconut Coffee recipe, where every sip is a journey of flavors and textures that will leave you wanting more.
Equipment
- Espresso Machine
Ingredients
- 50 ml espresso coffee
- ice cubes
- 120 ml milk
- 1 tsp coconut flavoring
- 1 tsp cinnamon flavoring
- shredded coconut
- simple sugar syrup
Instructions
- Brew 2 servings (50ml) of espresso in a small pitcher. You want it strong and rich, so make sure you use a good-quality coffee bean and your espresso machine is properly set up for the best results.
- Pour the brewed espresso into a cocktail shaker filled with ice cubes. Shake vigorously to chill the coffee and create a smooth texture.
- Half-fill a glass with ice cubes. This ensures your coconut coffee stays cold and refreshing, without watering it down too much.
- Pour 120 ml of coconut milk into the glass until it reaches about 3/4 of the way up the glass. This will create a nice base for your drink.
- Add 1 teaspoon each of coconut and cinnamon flavoring to the milk. The coconut flavor will deepen the coconut milk’s natural taste, while the cinnamon will add a warm, spicy kick that complements the espresso perfectly.
- Pour the chilled espresso into the glass with the milk mixture. Watch the layers of coffee and coconut milk swirl together to create a beautiful drink.
- Garnish with shredded coconut for a little texture and extra coconut flavor. This adds a satisfying crunch that takes your coconut coffee to the next level.
- Sweeten with simple syrup to taste. If you like your coffee on the sweeter side, feel free to add more syrup, but remember that the coconut milk already brings some natural sweetness to the drink.
- Serve and enjoy. Take a sip, and let the creamy, spicy, and aromatic flavors of your coconut latte transport you to a tropical paradise with every drop.
