(originally 4 servings)Ingredients(scaled)
- ¾ cups cold water
- 1 cups strong brewed espresso or 6 shots cooled
- ½ cup full-fat coconut milk, chilled
- 1 tbsp sweetened condensed coconut milk
- ¼ tsp ground cardamom
- Pinch of sea salt
- Ice cubes for serving
- Optional garnish: toasted coconut flakes
Instructions
- Brew espresso and chill until cold, about 10 minutes in the fridge; set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk coconut milk, sweetened condensed coconut milk, cardamom, and salt until smooth and slightly foamy, about 1–2 minutes by hand or with a handheld frother.
- Fill 4 glasses with ice. Pour equal parts espresso over the ice, then top with coconut foam.
- Give a quick stir, finish with a light sprinkle of toasted coconut if desired, and serve immediately.
Chef’s Pro Tips
- Chill ingredients well to maximize foam stability.
- For richer foam, replace half the coconut milk with coconut cream.
- Finish with a few cacao nibs for a subtle bitter contrast.
Serving Suggestions
Serve over ice in tall glasses; pair with a light almond biscuit or coconut macaroon for a cohesive tropical cafe vibe.
Storage Instructions
Best consumed immediately; store leftover espresso and coconut mixture separately in the fridge for up to 1 day and re-foam before serving.
