Coconut Extract

This Starbucks Coconut Latte Copycat brings the tropical sweetness of coconut to a rich, creamy espresso drink, perfect for enjoying at home. Using coconut extract or coconut syrup, combined with espresso or strong brewed coffee and steamed milk, this latte delivers the same smooth and indulgent flavor as the café version. Quick to make and easily customizable, it’s perfect for coffee lovers who want a homemade specialty drink without leaving the house. Sprinkle a touch of cinnamon or cocoa powder on top for a finishing café-style touch.

Ingredients

  • 1 shot (1 oz) espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy such as coconut or almond milk)
  • 1–2 teaspoons coconut extract or 2 tablespoons coconut syrup
  • 1–2 teaspoons sugar or sweetener (optional)
  • Whipped cream for topping (optional)
  • Optional garnish: shredded coconut or cinnamon

Directions

  1. Brew Coffee: Prepare 1 shot of espresso or 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee.

  2. Heat Milk: In a small saucepan, heat milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling. For a frothy latte, whisk vigorously or use a milk frother.

  3. Add Flavoring: Stir in coconut extract or coconut syrup and sugar (if using) until fully incorporated.

  4. Combine: Pour the espresso into a cup, then add the flavored milk, holding back the foam with a spoon and topping with it at the end.

  5. Optional Topping: Add whipped cream, sprinkle with shredded coconut, or dust lightly with cinnamon for a café-style finish.

  6. Serve: Enjoy immediately while warm.
