However, if you really want to enjoy it, consume it occasionally in moderation. Moreover, I prefer to customize the recipe to my dietary preferences.Â
Recipe Variations For Different Diets
- Vegan Friendly: I make this recipe vegan-friendly by choosing oat milk instead of regular milk. Also, I make sure the caramel sauce is vegan-friendly.Â
- Gluten Free: This recipe is naturally gluten-free. However, if you are using store-bought caramel sauce, then go for the gluten-free version.Â
- Sugar Free: To make this recipe sugar-free, I use unsweetened almond milk. I prefer making keto caramel using erythritol instead of sugar.Â
Storing This Recipe
- Refrigeration: If I have to store the drink in a refrigerator, I make sure to transfer the coffee into an airtight glass jar. This way, my drink can be consumed the next day.
- Freezing: Sometimes I want to store the drink for more than a day. For that, I make espresso, milk, and syrup concentrate, then transfer them to an ice tray. Whenever I have to serve, I add some milk to a glass and add the frozen ice cubes.Â
What To Serve With This Recipe
I prefer serving freshly baked Cornbread with a fresh bowl of fruit or toasted nuts. Moreover, I would suggest pairing it with croissants or Banana Bread to enjoy some comforting, sweet notes.
