Instructions

Froth Coconut Milk: Pour the coconut milk into a frother or use a handheld frothing wand to create a creamy, frothy texture. This step is essential to give the latte a smooth, airy consistency.
Heat Your Mixture: Gently warm the frothed coconut milk in a microwave or on the stovetop until it reaches a warm but not boiling temperature, enhancing the flavors and making it more comforting.
Brew Your Coffee: Prepare a shot of espresso or brew strong coffee using your preferred method. Alternatively, cold brew can be used for an iced variant.
Combine Ingredients: Pour the warm frothed coconut milk into a glass, add the sweetened condensed coconut milk, coconut extract, and vanilla extract. Stir well to blend all flavors together.
Add Finishing Touches: Slowly pour the freshly brewed coffee or espresso over the milk mixture. Top with a dash of ground cinnamon if desired for added aroma and presentation. Serve immediately with ice if preferred cold.

Notes

Use unsweetened canned coconut milk for the best froth and creaminess.
Adjust the amount of sweetened condensed coconut milk to control sweetness.
Espresso provides the most authentic flavor, but strong brewed coffee works well as a substitute.
Add ice cubes if you want a chilled iced latte variation.
Ground cinnamon is optional but adds a warm, spicy note to the drink.
