Ingredients & Substitutions
I really love using full-fat coconut milk for that rich, creamy texture, but you can definitely use light coconut milk if you prefer. If you can't find green cardamom pods, ground cardamom will work too—just use about 1/2 teaspoon.
Tips & Notes
- •I often keep my spices in a glass jar—this keeps them fresh and flavorful for longer.
- •If you want a little froth, you can use a milk frother on the coconut milk before adding it in.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of turmeric for an extra twist on flavor.
- •If you’re feeling adventurous, add a scoop of cacao powder for a chocolatey spin!
Storage & Freezing
