1 shot espresso (or 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee, chilled)
1/2 cup coconut milk (full-fat or light, your preference)
1/2 cup ice cubes
1โ2 tsp maple syrup or sweetener of choice (optional)
1/4 tsp beetroot powder or pink pitaya powder (for natural coloring)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Pinch of sea salt (optional, to balance flavors)
In a glass, mix beetroot or pitaya powder with coconut milk until smooth and evenly pink.
Add maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt (if using), then stir well.
Fill a serving glass with ice.
Pour the pink coconut milk over the ice.
Slowly pour the espresso or cold brew over the pink milk to create a layered effect.
Stir before drinking and enjoy immediately!
You can substitute the espresso with cold brew or skip it entirely for a caffeine-free version.
Adjust the sweetness to taste.
Shake everything together for a fully blended latte if you prefer not to layer.
For a frothy top, blend coconut milk before mixing.
