FAQs

Can I use canned coconut milk instead of carton coconut milk?

Yes, canned coconut milk works well and will make the latte richer, but be sure to shake or stir it well to combine the separated cream and water.

Is sweetened condensed milk necessary?

Sweetened condensed milk adds both sweetness and a creamy texture, but you can substitute with your preferred sweetener and an additional splash of coconut milk if desired.
