Adding coffee to this recipe is optional

Milk

While we use coconut milk in this recipe, you can easily substitute it for regular 2% milk or whole milk. You can also use any milk alternative that fits your liking. Just keep in mind that some nut milks may have an overpowering taste. It’s also best to use a milk that can froth well, so if you are choosing a nut alternative, go for a barista type.

Caffeine-Free

Adding coffee to this recipe is optional. If it’s late in the day, or you just don’t enjoy coffee, you can easily skip this step and enjoy the milky and creamy drink as it is. You can also make decaf coffee instead of regular coffee if you still want some coffee flavor in it.
