Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 shots Espresso
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Shredded coconut (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare 2 shots of espresso using your espresso machine or preferred brewing method.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla extract.
Stir the coconut milk mixture gently until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is heated through but not boiling.
Use a milk frother to froth the heated coconut milk mixture to your desired consistency. Alternatively, you can whisk vigorously until frothy.
Pour the prepared espresso shots into a large coffee mug.
Slowly pour the frothed coconut milk over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon to let it float on top.
Gently spoon the reserve foam onto the top of the latte.
Sprinkle with shredded coconut on top for garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your coconut latte!
