The Iced Classico

Think that coffee has to be all cream and sugar to be palatable? You just haven’t been drinking good coffee. Enter: cold-brew coffee. Due to the brewing process, it is usually much lower in acid profile and much higher in overall flavor. Find a flavor profile you like and you’ll be surprised by how little you’ll find yourself wanting to add unhealthy amounts of cream or sugar. 

8 ounces cold-brewed coffee, flavor of choice
4 ounces unsweetened almond milk
Pinch of nutmeg
Stevia (to taste)
Pinch of nutmeg
1 teaspoon coconut oil
Ice (to preference)

Mix cold brew coffee with almond milk, stevia and nutmeg. Add coconut oil and ice. Shake vigorously. Enjoy! 

Note: For lovers of creamy texture, the coconut oil adds healthy richness to your drink. Can be omitted but it’s so good!
