FAQs
Can I use regular milk instead of coconut milk?
Yes, regular milk or any plant-based milk can be substituted, but coconut milk adds a unique tropical creaminess that pairs well with cold brew.
How can I make this drink less sweet?
Reduce the amount of vanilla syrup or omit it entirely; the coconut milk adds natural sweetness and creaminess on its own.
