Coffee Flavor Recipe

Almond milk: A dairy-free milk alternative that provides a creamy base for the drink.

Instant coffee: Quick-dissolving coffee granules that deliver a strong coffee flavor.

Maple syrup: A natural sweetener that adds a rich, caramel-like sweetness.

Vanilla extract: An aromatic flavoring that enhances the overall taste of the beverage.

When heating the almond milk, make sure to stir continuously to prevent it from scorching at the bottom of the pan. This will ensure a smooth and creamy texture for your coffee drink.
