  • Use pure maple syrup for the most natural sweetness, but agave or date syrup work beautifully too
  • If using vanilla extract instead of vanilla bean, add it during blending for better distribution
  • For an even frostier texture, freeze some of the coffee in ice cube trays and use those instead of regular ice
  • Always verify ingredient labels if you have specific allergen concerns, especially with plant-based milks
