Dairy-Free Mexican Coffee
Now, let me tell you, I whip this up when I’m feeling adventurous or need to impress guests who still think "basic coffee" is a personality trait. The blend of bold spices and smooth non-dairy milk transforms your regular java into something extraordinary. Perfect for those days when you want a coffee that says, "I’m sophisticated, but also fun."
Ingredients
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee
- 1/2 cup almond milk or your preferred non-dairy milk
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or sweetener of choice
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract optional but adds flair
Instructions
- Brew Coffee: Start with a strong cup of coffee. Make sure it's bold enough to stand up to all the delicious additions you're about to throw at it.
- Heat Milk: In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk over medium heat. Do not boil—just warm it enough to combine smoothly with the coffee.
- Mix Spices: Whisk in the cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and sea salt into the warming almond milk. Stir until fully blended and fragrant.
- Combine: Pour the brewed coffee into your mug. Add the spiced almond milk mixture, followed by maple syrup and vanilla extract if using. Stir well.
- Serve: Sip and savor your exotic coffee creation. Feel free to top with a sprinkle of cinnamon for that extra touch of class.
