Instructions
Brew coffee: Make a strong 8-oz cup (about 18 g coffee to 240 ml water).

Prepare milk mix: In a separate cup combine almond milk, cocoa, cinnamon, monk-fruit, and sea salt; froth 20 seconds until lightly foamy.
Emulsify fat: Drizzle MCT oil slowly into the frothing milk so it blends without floating.
