Method
1. Once completely cold, pour your black coffee, milk and maple syrup into a blender. Add plenty of ice and blend until the texture is smooth and starts to appear foamy.
2. Grab a tall glass and pour the coffee into it, adding another ice cube or two, depending on your preference.
3. Finish with a cute paper straw and voila, you’re done.
As a dairy-free alternative, why not opt for oat milk? We currently adore Oatly’s Barista Edition milk!
And if you’re in the market for some good cawfee beans, let me also direct you in the right direction.
Supporting local and independent coffee legends has never been so important. With many cafes forced to close or alter their businesses, we’re giving a shoutout to some of the incredible coffee roasters located here in Ireland from Cork to Dublin.
Although the ability to sip a flat white watching the world go by from a cute coffee shop nook is not entirely back to where we’d like it to be, we’re thrilled knowing that we can buy our favourite beans online and bring some of that incredible taste home with us.
