We have been trying to experiment on a different milk substitute for our morning coffee and coconut milk was one of the substitutes we were trying out. I love coconut milk in savory and sweet foods and it is a staple in most Filipino dishes, however, I’m not convinced if this milk goes well with coffee at all. Maybe because I like my coffee with no sugar?
Chocolate, however, oh my. yes. oh my.
