Below, I've provided measurements, but here is my feeling. It's the morning, you're already cleaning a coffee pot and a blender - do you really need to clean a measuring cup and measuring spoons, too? Play around and find the combination you like, which will be easy to eyeball.

As for the maple syrup - I drink freshly-brewed coffee, sweetener-free. If you typically sweeten your coffee, you may want more syrup. This is just enough to take the edge off the mixture.

Finally, you know the thing about blending hot liquids, right? About how if it's really hot and if you're not holding down the lid, it can pop off and splatter hot liquid everywhere? Right. So please, give it a few minutes and make sure you hold that lid down tightly with a dishtowel in place, before starting the blender.
What you'll need
  • ¾ cup coconut milk or almondmilk
  • 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 4 cups hot brewed coffee
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil
How you'll make it
  1. In blender, add milk and maple syrup. Pour in coffee and and add coconut oil. Let sit for a couple minutes to let it slightly cool down (see note, above). I like to take this time to clean the coffee pot. Cover blender. Use a dishtowel to firmly hold down the blender lid; blend 10 seconds or until combined. The mixture will create a natural frothy top. Pour into your favorite mug (really, it makes it taste better).
  2. Sometimes, depending on how long I've let the mixture sit before blending, I need to pop the mug into the microwave for 30 seconds before drinking.
How to plan ahead
Make sure your blender is clean and ready, in case you're having one of those mornings.
