Hello all,
I'm a barista at a small coffee shop here in Chapel Hill, NC. I've traveled extensively and have had coffee/espresso from Miami to San Diego.
I'm looking for recipes for espresso-based drinks (hot) that call for coconut milk. I've had something a shop nearby called a "Cubano" that contained coconut milk, but I know that a true cubano isnt a latte-style drink.
Please post your recipes that use coconut milk and espresso - I truly appreciate it!

Small world, what coffee shop do you work for here in Chapel Hill, NC? Our company, Joe Van Gogh, operates the Cup A Joe coffee shops in Chapel Hill, and Hillsborough.
Anyhow, awhile back one of our store managers, Russ, came up with a drink using coconut milk that he called the Thai Spiced Cappuccino. He has given me permission to share his recipe here.
First, create a mixture of coconut milk, ground ginger, and honey. It should be sort of paste-like.
Then, make yourself a cappuccino and add a shot of your paste as you would a flavored syrup, stir and enjoy. I hear it's mighty good with a soy cappuccino as well.
Sorry for the lack of details on proportions, but since you're in the area you could always drop by Joe Van Gogh on Broad Street in Durham and ask the creator, Russ. He's the manager of that store, and is there weekdays.
Cheers, and enjoy!
