NOTES
- I prefer using whole milk for this but you can also use skim milk, soy milk, oat milk or any other milk of choice to suit your dietary needs.
- You may substitute monkfruit erythritol sweetener with any other sweetener of choice.
- If you are sensitive to caffeine, use decaf instant coffee powder.
- You may use freshly brewed espresso in place of instant coffee powder if you prefer. Just make sure the final volume of liquid is 480ml / 16.2 fl oz.
- Feel free to use any tea of choice! Early grey, jasmine, oolong or matcha are also great!
