Coconut Milk Coffee

I got a chance to taste this delicious coconut milk coffee during my vacation to Vietnam. We dropped by at ABC bakery in Ho Chi Minh city after reading so many good reviews on their bread and pastries especially croissants. Being a die hard fan of croissant i definitely don't want to miss the chance to visit this famous bakery. The bakery serve huge choice of assorted bread,buns,croissants and cookies. Their breakfast combo menu is an ideal choice for tourist and locals to sit and enjoy their baked goodies. I 101% agree with all the positive reviews i read online and their croissants are to die for. Butter,flaky,soft and so many choices to choose.

Enough talking about their pastries lets get into their coffee. I choose coconut milk coffee from their breakfast menu as the name sounds a little exotic for me. The moment i sipped into the coffee it was heaven on a mug. The coffee are creamy,rich and tastes divine. You could taste the coconut milk in the coffee and i;m talking about the freshly squeezed coconut milk not the stuff we get in packets which mixed with cornflour to thicken. Coconut milk are healthier options to condensed or evaporated milk which is a plus point. The coffee was so good till i had the delicious coconut milk coffee thruout our 3 days stay there. The memory of the coffee are too tempting which i decided to make my very own coconut milk coffee at home. Here's the recipe for delicious,creamy and healthy version of morning cuppa.

Ingredients

1 cup thick coconut milk
1/2 cup coconut sugar/brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup espresso/strongly brewed coffee

Methods

Remove from heat.

Pour the prepared coconut milk mixture to your strongly brewed coffee or espresso.

Notes.

I did not add sugar to my coffee as i find the coconut sugar in the coconut milk are perfect for my taste bud. If you are a sweet tooth you may add sugar to your coffee to suit your taste.

Store the coconut milk mixture in an airtight jar and keep in refrigerator. Stays good for 2-3 days
