Ingredients
- 1 tbsp ground herbal coffee or use tea bags
- 2 tsp coconut cream add less or more, to taste
- 1-2 tsp maple syrup
Instructions
Choose Your Method
- Whether you're using a drip coffee maker, French press, or espresso machine, you'll want to use about 1 rounded tablespoon of the herbal coffee blend per 10 oz of water. Adjust according to how strong you like your brew. I personally prefer to use about 1 tablespoon per 16-20 oz when brewing and steep for 5 minutes.
- If using this in the tea bag form, just pour 8 oz of boiling water over the tea bag in a cup and steep for 3-5 minutes.
Heat Your Cream
- Warm some coconut cream in a saucepan until it’s just hot to touch but not boiling. Or just add the cream to the steeping phase.
Sweeten and Serve
- Pour the brewed herbal coffee into your mug, sweeten with maple syrup to taste, and top off with the warm coconut cream. Stir well to blend the flavors together. For this I'm using a stick blender to make some foam. The coconut cream incorpoartes really well and makes the drink velvety and creamy just like a latte.
Notes
Other Ways To Enjoy
- Cold Brew or Iced: Brew it strong and chill for an iced version, perfect for warm days.
- Adjust to Taste: If the brew feels too strong, dilute it with hot water, milk, or a non-dairy alternative according to your preference.
