I like coconut, one of my favorite ice creams is toasted coconut. But I would not say I love coconut and I am probably not going to go into a coffee shop and order some coconut latte. However, making it at home is a different story, plus I always need new recipes for my blog.
I figured this coffee was going to be okay. I would drink it, but it would not be a favorite and I might not even post it. Boy was I wrong!! This latte was so delicious.
The original recipe said it made two servings and I toyed with cutting the recipe in half. But that would have only been 4 ounces of coffee and 4 ounces of milk for a total of 8 ounces. Plus cutting 1/8 teaspoon and a splash in half would not have been easy. So I decided to make the whole recipe. Right before I hit the brew button to make the coffee, I wondered it it would even fit in my mug. I took a gamble and hoped it would fit. Well, it kind of fit. It definitely filled the mug to the top without an inch to spare so I took a sip to make room for the lid. I got mostly foam, but oh boy was that delicious foam. When I put the lid on, the foam filled the top of the lid. I did not care as I enjoyed that foam. Once I actually took a sip of the latte, I was incredibly happy I made the whole recipe and enjoyed that coffee to the very last sip. I am going to have to make sure I always have a can of coconut milk in my pantry so I can make this anytime I want.
