Elevate your morning with this decadent drink
This September, embrace the upgrade with us: Make your eating and drinking better, faster and stronger.
Your morning coffee doesn't have to be a sad sludge of lifeless caffeine. Start your day off right with this creamy coconut latte inspired by The Frog's Crown Bakery in NYC.
Note: When you're selecting your coconut milk and water, try to choose brands that don't have any added sugars or preservatives. If you don't have access to an espresso maker, we recommend using pour-over or AeroPress coffee made strong and from a dark roast.
