Soursop Coconut Latte

teas.co.uk · 10 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 2 Dalgety Pure Soursop tea bags
• 100ml freshly drawn water, brought to a true rolling boil
• 200ml barista style coconut milk, well shaken
• 1 tablespoon of toasted desiccated coconut, for the foam dust
• 1 short cinnamon stick (about 4cm), for the rim
• 1 warmed 350ml glass cup
• 1 small heatproof jug
• 1 small saucepan
• 1 small handheld milk frother

Method

1. Warm a glass with hot water, then pour it away.
2. Drop the soursop bags into a heatproof jug, pour over the 100ml of just boiled water, cover and steep for five minutes; two bags in this little water makes a strong base that survives the milk.
3. Lift the bags out without pressing.
4. Meanwhile, warm the coconut milk gently to around 65C, not above; plant milks turn bitter if they get too hot.
5. Froth the warm coconut milk with a handheld frother for about fifteen seconds, into a thick foam.
6. Pour the strong soursop tea into the warmed glass.
7. Pour the frothed coconut milk slowly over the back of a spoon, layering the foam on top.
8. Dust with toasted desiccated coconut and lay a cinnamon stick across the rim to stir with.
9. Tip: keep plant milks under 70C; hotter and they split or turn bitter instead of frothing smoothly.
