Tips & Notes

Recipe Variations

Storage & Freezing
This drink is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to two days. Just reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of water or more coconut milk if it thickens up!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other plant milks?
Absolutely! Almond, oat, or soy milk would all work, but I find coconut milk gives the richest flavor.
How can I make it sweeter?
You can add more maple syrup or even a splash of agave nectar if that's more your style!
