How to make homemade iced coconut milk latte with wild honey and espresso ice cubes!
My favorite way to cool off on any hot summer day is with a jar of iced coconut milk latte I make at home. And yes, organic coffee is a good delicious thing nature offers us.
Whole 30 compliant, gluten free, easy and super delicious!
With an extra boost of caffeine slowly released as the espresso cubes start to melt, just what you need to make it through the day.
Contrary to popular belief you do not need a fancy espresso machine to get a good pot of coffee. As a matter of fact you can pick up a basic stove top espresso maker for about $35 or so that will give you fantastic results. I love my Italiane Bialetti, it has never let me down. (<–amazon link)
Something wonderful happens to coffee after it’s been chilling in the fridge for a while, so I strongly suggest making this the night before.
You will see I recommend organic unsweetened coconut milk because it is the best, super silky and creamy, gives your latte a rich taste without all the nasties from conventional cow’s milk, which by the way, you should avoid at all costs. ( I am not referring to organic grass fed cow’s milk, unpasteurized and wholesome, that is a completely different beverage you should enjoy if you ever get the chance)
The other thing I like to do is have espresso ice cubes in my freezer to mix in with regular cubes. As the regular ice cubes start melting, I have the espresso cubes backing up my flavor at the same time.
I always finish with a nice creamy splash of coconut milk on top. Trust me: Starbuck doesn’t have a thing on this recipe 😉
Dooooo It!
