Description
An iced coconut milk latte is a smooth, refreshing coffee drink made with bold espresso and creamy coconut milk. Lightly sweet and dairy-free, it’s perfect for warm days or anyone who loves a tropical twist on classic iced coffee.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1–2 shots espresso (or ½ cup strong brewed coffee, cooled)
- 1 cup coconut milk (carton-style for lighter, canned for creamier)
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or sugar (optional)
- Ice
Optional Toppings
- Toasted coconut flakes
- Cinnamon sprinkle
Instructions
- Brew Coffee: Brew 1–2 shots of espresso or prepare ½ cup of strong brewed coffee, then allow it to cool slightly to prevent melting the ice too quickly.
- Prepare Glass: Fill a glass with ice cubes to chill the drink and keep it refreshing.
- Combine Coffee and Ice: Pour the cooled espresso or brewed coffee over the ice in the glass.
- Add Coconut Milk and Sweetener: Pour in 1 cup of coconut milk, choosing carton-style for a lighter texture or canned for extra creaminess. Add 1–2 teaspoons of maple syrup or sugar if you prefer a sweeter latte.
- Stir Gently: Stir the mixture gently to combine all ingredients evenly without losing the chill or froth.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes or a dash of cinnamon on top for added flavor and visual appeal. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, cool beverage.
Notes
- Use unsweetened coconut milk to control the sweetness level of your latte.
- For an extra creamy texture, shake the coconut milk container well before pouring.
- Vanilla syrup is a great alternative sweetener and pairs beautifully with coconut milk.
- Cold brew coffee can be used instead of espresso for a smoother, less acidic flavor.
