Notes
- For the best texture, use your high speed blender or handheld whisker (like this one) to whip together the coffee / cacao / rosewater base. If you don’t have either of those options available vigorously shake it together in a tightly lidded jar, or mix together with a whisk and a bowl.
- A good ratio is about 1/2 coffee base and 1/2 plant milk. Any less milk than that and the flavor might be too strong.
- This recipe is slightly sweetened with maple syrup, but feel free to adjust the level of sweetness or leave it out all together.
- Many natural food stores or mediterranean grocery store carry culinary rosewater. If you can’t find it in stores, you can buy my favorite brand here for about $7. One bottle will last you years so it’s a worthy investment!
