How to Make Coconut Lemon Coffee

  1. Zest 1/2 a lemon using a microplane or fine grater. Set aside the lemon zest (about 1 teaspoon).
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of full-fat coconut milk and the lemon zest.
  3. Gently heat the coconut milk over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warm (about 3-5 minutes). Do not boil.
  4. While the coconut milk warms, brew 1 cup of your favorite coffee. Add 1 inch of a real vanilla bean to the coffee grounds during brewing for maximum vanilla flavor (or substitute with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar).
  5. Once brewed, remove the vanilla bean from the coffee (if using a bean).
  6. Remove the lemon zest from the warmed coconut milk using a fine-mesh sieve or a spoon.
  7. In a mug, add 1/2 ounce of erythritol (or 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar, or your preferred sweetener to taste).
  8. Pour the brewed coffee into the mug.
  9. If using vanilla extract or vanilla sugar, add it now.
  10. Top with the warmed coconut milk.
  11. Stir gently and enjoy your delicious Coconut Lemon Coffee!
