Welcome to a tropical coffee paradise! Our Coconutmilk Latte Starbucks Copycat brings the essence of a beachside retreat right to your kitchen. This recipe was inspired by the growing trend of plant-based milk alternatives in coffee shops, with coconut milk emerging as a favorite for its rich, creamy texture and subtle sweetness.
We've carefully crafted this recipe to mimic the beloved Starbucks version, using high-quality espresso and creamy coconut milk. The key to achieving that perfect balance lies in the right espresso roast - we recommend a medium to dark roast for a robust flavor that complements the coconut's sweetness. For the best results, use a fine grind and pull a double shot of espresso using an espresso machine or a strong brew from a Moka pot.
