Tips & Tricks

To make sure the coffee and milk blend easily, stir the can of milk into the coffee while it's still warm.
A medium roast coffee has just enough flavor without being too weak or too strong.
Feel free to adjust the ratio of ingredients to suit your tastes, this recipe is very flexible.

Variations

Chocolate: A really good chocolate sauce adds a deep, rich flavor that blends well with coffee.
White Chocolate: Quality white chocolate sauce is an easy way to add that mild, sweet flavor.
Caramel: I love using a sea salt caramel for drizzling on the sides of the cup and mixing in.
Flavored syrups: A pump or two of a drink syrups like vanilla, hazelnut, or even a fun flavor like coconut.
Dairy-free: Use a can of sweetened condensed coconut milk.
Cinnamon: Sprinkle some cinnamon on the top and stir in.
Boozy: Try your favorite coffee liqueur for a fun brunch option.
Mocha: For just a hint of chocolate flavor, dissolve some hot chocolate mix into the coffee before adding in the milk.
