Coconut and Soursop Latte
teas.co.uk · 10 min · Serves 1
You'll need
- 2 Dalgety Soursop and Moringa 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 fresh mint leaf, for the rim
- 1 warmed 350ml glass cup
- 1 small heatproof jug
- 1 small saucepan
- 1 small handheld milk frother
Method
- Warm a tall glass with hot water and empty it.
- Steep two tea bags in 100ml of freshly boiled water for six minutes to make a strong concentrate, then lift them out.
- Warm the coconut milk gently until it just steams; keep it below 70C, as plant milks turn bitter if they get too hot.
- Froth the warm coconut milk with a handheld frother into a thick foam.
- Pour the tea concentrate into the glass, then float the coconut foam on top over the back of a spoon.
- Dust with toasted desiccated coconut and rest a mint leaf on the rim.
- Toast the coconut in a dry pan until just golden before you use it; it makes all the difference to the smell.
