Dairy Free Iced Bulletproof Coffee Latte

Bulletproof coffee is a refreshing and healthy coffee drink, made with coffee, oil, and butter. Discover a dairy-free bulletproof coffee recipe that is perfect for summer and does not require butter.

The weather is warming up and the thought of hot coffee does not appeal to some people. Hot coffee in the morning when it is over 80 degrees outside just does not taste the same or have the same appeal as a cup of warm coffee on a cold winter day. Hot coffee tends to warm the body up so when the temperature goes up, I want a drink that will refresh my body. Once I start wearing shorts, I am ready to ditch my hot pour-over brewed coffee for a cup of cold-brew coffee poured over ice.

 Summertime means cold-brew coffee, iced coffee, and Dairy Free Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Coffee Lattes.  Cold coffee takes on a whole new meaning in the summer. While cold coffee is not rejoiced for in the winter but in the summer a glass of cold coffee is my new coffee method. Iced coffee just tastes better on a hot summer day. 

Iced Coffee is more than hot coffee over ice cubes 

 The method for ice coffee is not just pouring hot coffee over ice cubes, it is so much more. I even have a recipe for the perfect iced coffee that I make in the summer. I love my coffee and pretty much drink it year-round. I love to be creative with my daily cups of coffee and I seek out new coffee recipes. My latest new favorite coffee recipe is bulletproof coffee and I have discovered a way to enjoy bulletproof coffee as a cold refreshing coffee drink. I am loving this Dairy-Free Iced Bulletproof Coffee Latte while loving the warm weather.

What is Bulletproof Coffee?

 Bulletproof coffee is a buttery coffee drink that is enjoyed by people on the keto diet. Dave Asprey, the founder of Bulletproof Nutrition, created the recipe for keto coffee in 2013. He posted the recipe on his website and everyone went crazy for it! Just like the craze of 2020 for Dalgona coffee, Bulletproof coffee was a coffee recipe that everyone had to try. Being that the Bulletproof coffee recipe had grass-fed butter in it, I have not tried this coffee drink since I have a dairy allergy. 

Bulletproof coffee is made with coffee, grass-fed butter, and either coconut oil or medium-chain triglyceride MCT oil.

Purchase the MCT Oil and Coconut Oil Here

 Then I received a bottle of organic MCT oil from Viva Naturals and when I read the bottle, it said MCT oil is perfect in coffee. So I added a tablespoon of MCT oil to my cup of coffee and I was amazed at the creamy taste that it gave to my coffee. So I went searching online for coffee recipes that use MCT oil and I discovered a dairy-free bulletproof coffee recipe. I had to try this coffee recipe with my new coffee scale and I am glad that I did. The dairy-free bulletproof coffee was delicious.

How to make an iced bulletproof coffee latte that is dairy-free

 It is shorts season where I live and I traded my cup of hot coffee for a glass of iced coffee. So I decided to make the dairy-free bulletproof coffee recipe into a Dairy-Free Iced Bulletproof Coffee Latte. With some small changes in my coffee recipe, it was simple to take this coffee from hot to cold. A few steps are all it takes to make a butterless iced bulletproof coffee latte.

From blending the MCT oil into fresh-brewed coffee to stirring in plant-based milk and adding ice cubes, this coffee recipe is so easy to make. You can brew your coffee with any coffee method but I highly recommend the pour-over coffee method for the best coffee flavor. The pour-over coffee brewing method is my preferred coffee brewing method. I find that it gives the best taste for coffee.

Ingredients needed for Dairy-Free Iced Bulletproof Coffee Latte

+ Freshly Brewed Coffee ~ I am loving the intense flavor of this Costa Rican Coffee. These coffee beans have been hand-selected for bright, bold, and robust flavor. 

+ Plant-Based Milk ~ My favorite plant-based milk is homemade oat milk 

+ MCT Oil ~ I use Viva Naturals Organic MCT Oil as it blends well in coffee

+ Organic Coconut Oil ~ My favorite is Viva Naturals Coconut Oil

+ Honey ~ I like my coffee sweet and use Raw Honey in my iced coffee drinks. Discover some unique flavors of Raw Honey that are perfect in tea and coffee.

+ Ice Cubes

More about that raw honey

 Adagio Teas' Raw Tea Honey is the perfect honey for this latte and for tea. The delicious raw honey is available in unique flavors that pair well with different types of teas like black, green, herbal, hibiscus, and rooibos. Did you know that raw honey is a great source of healthy antioxidants that fight bacteria and protect the body?

Adagio Teas' Raw Tea Honey is available in 4oz samples and 12oz jars. Check out the awesome flavors of the raw honey.

Raw Honey for Green Teas - A carefully-selected Goldenrod with a flavor palette perfect for green teas. 

Raw Honey for Black Teas - The orange flavor has about the same presence as if you squeezed an orange slice into a tall glass of water. 

Raw Honey for Fruit Tisanes -  Also known as Acacia honey, nectar from the black locust tree. The honey bears a light color and sweet, aromatic flavor. 

Raw Honey for Rooibos - Made from the nectar of the Japanese Knotweed, this honey has a rich, dark palette. Very earthy and complex. 

Raw Honey for Garden Herbals - Using nectar from the blueberry plant, this honey is reminiscent of Clover honey in texture and basic taste but has a more complex herbal palette. 

Matcha Whipped Honey -  Honey whipped it up with matcha powder.

How can MCT Oil be healthy in coffee?

 I bet you are wondering why I add MCT Oil to my coffee. MCT Oil contains fat but it is a healthy fat and can be good for energy and cognitive enhancement. MCT oil is plant-based saturated fat oil made up of medium-chain triglycerides. This type of fat is absorbed quickly by the body so it can be used for energy instead of being stored as fat. People on the Keto plan use MCT Oil for improved focus and energy. So this coffee can be great before exercise or before work.

 I like the MCT Oil and coconut oil in my coffee as it adds a creamy texture like coffee creamer. The difference is that coconut oil is healthier and dairy-free. The Dairy-Free Iced Bulletproof Coffee Latte is better for your health when compared to those cold coffee drinks at the Star coffee shop.

Dairy Free Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Coffee Latte

 Looking for a delicious fall coffee drink? Skip the long line at the coffee place and make this dairy-free Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Coffee Latte. Made with brown sugar, coffee, and oat milk and so delicious! Keep reading to get the recipe!

 So many of my readers are fans of getting their daily coffee drinks at coffee shops and when I heard about the newest summer coffee drink from Starbucks, I knew that I had to recreate it at home. The name alone, of this coffee drink sounded so delicious. Sweet brown sugar and creamy oat milk with a rich cup of coffee made my taste buds get excited. This was a coffee latte that I knew I could make at home without even trying the popular coffee drink.

While I like visiting coffee shops for my coffee fix, my dairy allergy makes it hard. I have to keep a careful eye on the coffee barista who is making my coffee order so they don't accidentally add milk to my coffee drink. I have had a couple of bad experiences with my coffee drinks from coffee shops in the past that have resulted in me feeling sick to my stomach for hours and experiencing an asthma attack. My food allergy symptoms usually set in 1 to 2 hours after I eat any dairy products.

No long line with this fall coffee drink

 Other reasons to make your own coffee at home are you save money and there is no long line in your kitchen. So you will save time when you make your coffee at home. I know that people say that coffee shop coffee tastes better but I so disagree. Brewing coffee at home tastes so much better to me. Once you learn how to brew the best coffee, you will start making your coffee drinks at home. You don't even need a fancy coffee maker to make delicious coffee at home, especially when you make cold-brew coffee.

Dairy-free Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Coffee Latte is

+ Dairy-Free

+ Delicious

+ Nut-Free

+ Perfect for summer

+ Plant-based

+ Vegetarian

+ Creamy

+ Rich in flavor

Supplies needed to make a great cup of coffee

+ Coffee Maker or a pour-over coffee cone

+ Gooseneck water kettle

+ Unbleached Coffee Filters

+ Mason Jar or big glass jar

+ Coffee Mugs

+ Quality Coffee Beans or quality ground coffee

+ Coffee Scoop

+ Coffee Grinder

+ Coffee Bar supplies like syrups, creamers, and other sweeteners

+ Plant-based Milk

 The most important supply that you need to make a great cup of coffee at home is quality coffee beans. Don't go cheap on your coffee. It may seem that the best-tasting coffee may seem over-priced but that bag of coffee beans will pay for itself after making 3 cups of coffee. A 12-ounce bag of quality coffee may be priced between $10 -15 dollars but it will make 16 -22 cups of coffee. That fancy coffee you buy at the coffee shop runs $5 - 7 dollars a drink, so do the math.

 I am a coffee snob when it comes to buying my coffee beans. Quality coffee is on a coffee lover's must-have list of products. I also like purchasing coffee beans from around the world. I also like supporting businesses that give back to the community. My latest find in quality coffee beans is from Fire Department Coffee. Their Honduran Coffee beans make a great cup of coffee. These rich coffee beans from Central America have a smooth tint and slight sweetness.

Ingredients needed for  Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Coffee Latte

+ Coffee beans or ground coffee

+ Brown sugar

+ Oat Milk ~ See my recipe for homemade oat milk

+ Ice cubes

 Three ingredients, four if you include the ice, are all you need to make this delicious summer coffee drink. The original Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Coffee espresso drink that I discovered uses a brown sugar syrup that you can make at home but that is too time-consuming in my opinion. The copycat coffee recipe from Starbucks also uses shots of espresso and that requires one to have an espresso maker. So my recipe for an Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Coffee Latte is easy to make. The recipe uses a strong cup of hot brewed coffee, brown sugar, and oat milk. It is that simple!

While you can use other plant-based milk, I recommend buying oat milk as oat milk is creamier and adds great flavor. Oat milk is creamy, delicious, plant-based milk that is perfect for the best dairy-free cup of coffee.

How to Make Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Coffee Latte

Making the Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Coffee Latte is super easy and there is no need for fancy shaking or coffee equipment. If you can brew a cup of coffee then you can make this dairy-free coffee drink. If you have a coffee maker, all you have to do is increase the amount of ground coffee to make the coffee more rich and bold or decrease the amount of water needed. Since you will be adding hot coffee to the oat milk, you will want stronger coffee.

If you don't have a coffee maker, I recommend buying a pour-over coffee cone. I prefer to make my coffee with the pour-over coffee method as it results in a better-tasting cup of coffee that has no bitterness. If you can boil water, you can make coffee with the pour-over coffee cone. You simply place a paper coffee filter in the pour-over cone and add the ground coffee. Then you pour the boiling water over the ground coffee to brew the coffee. The ideal temperature is 195-205 degrees Fahrenheit. I use a gooseneck water kettle that has a thermometer in it so my hot water is always at the perfect temperature.

Once you brew the coffee, you add the brown sugar to the hot coffee. The heat will dissolve the brown sugar, so no need to make fancy coffee syrup. Then let the coffee cool down by placing it in the fridge for about 30 minutes. You can make this coffee mixture the night before to save time. Then add the oat milk to a glass with ice and pour in the coffee. Stir the drink and enjoy!

Make this drink warm

Looking for a warm Brown Sugar Oat Milk Coffee Latte? Then skip the fridge and add the oat milk to the coffee while it is still warm. Simply brew the coffee and stir in the brown sugar until it dissolves. Then add the oat milk and you have a delicious warm fall latte.

Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Coffee Latte is a creamy iced drink made with brown sugar, coffee, and oat milk.

 I love coffee and my day is not complete without a cup or two of some type of coffee drink. I love my coffee hot in the winter and iced in the summer months. My favorite way to enjoy coffee is with almond milk and some type of sweet flavoring. I prefer to make my coffee at home so I can be assured that it is truly a dairy-free drink. I have a dairy allergy and have to watch my drink being made at coffee shops so it is not accidentally made with milk, this has happened before and I prefer to avoid being sick for several hours. 

 My favorite way to flavor my coffee is with Torani flavored syrups as they have so many delicious flavors. My favorite flavor is Torani Salted Caramel Syrup as this sweet delicious syrup mixes so well into my coffee. I love that I can add an intense caramel flavor to my coffee. This sweet syrup is made with real, simple ingredients like pure cane sugar & natural flavors and it is also dairy-free! You can find Torani Sugar Free Salted Caramel Syrup in the coffee aisle at your local Kroger grocery store.

 My Dairy-Free Salted Caramel Cold Brew Coffee Latte only requires three ingredients: cold brew coffee, almond milk, and Torani Salted Caramel Syrup.

How to Make Cold Brew Coffee

 Making cold brew coffee is super easy. Sure, the process can be long but it results in some of the best-tasting coffee. If you are short on time, you can buy cold brew coffee or use a cup of cold coffee but I recommend making your own cold brew for the freshest coffee. Check out this article that goes into detail about how to make the best cold-brew coffee.

To make cold brew coffee, you need 3 ounces of ground coffee, 3 cups of water, and a large glass jar or pitcher. Combine the coffee grounds with the water in the jar and stir well so the coffee grounds are thoroughly wet. Cover the jar and place it in the fridge for 12-24 hours. Strain the coffee with a mesh strainer and a cheesecloth, (or paper coffee filter), into large mason jars for storage. The cold brew will last up to 2 weeks in the fridge.

Torani Flavor Syrups are great beyond coffee

 Torani syrups come in so many delicious flavors and I love using them in my favorite recipes like cakes, cookies, pancakes, and brownies. My boys love mixing Torani-flavored syrups into their yogurt and oatmeal for a delicious flavor. A splash of Torani Salted Caramel syrup in a dish of dairy-free vanilla yogurt and sliced fresh peaches make a wonderful dessert with an awesome flavor.

 If you have never made iced coffee with cold brew coffee, now is a perfect time! This Dairy-Free Salted Caramel Cold Brew Coffee Latte is a perfect refreshing drink for a warm summer day or any time of year when you want a smooth sweet coffee drink. Just head to your local Kroger grocery store and get a bottle or two of delicious Torani Salted Caramel syrup, your favorite ground coffee, and a container of almond milk. When you get home, prepare the cold brew coffee right away so it will be ready by morning. If you can't wait until morning to try this delicious smooth coffee drink, then brew yourself a cup of hot coffee and let it cool down. Then add the sweet and salty taste of Torani Salted Caramel Syrup to your coffee with a bit of milk. Mmmmmm, I can taste the sweetness of this bold yet smooth coffee drink.

Celebrate National Coffee Day With A Dairy Free Pumpkin Latte

Get in the fall spirit with this delicious Dairy Free Pumpkin Latte that you brew at home!

I received an Espressotoria coffee maker and a sample of Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract to facilitate this post.

  Are you a fall person? You know the one that gets excited when they see that their favorite coffee shop is making pumpkin lattes. If you are like me, you hop into the car the moment you hear that you can buy a pumpkin latte. Then, if you are like me, you are shocked to see the going price of your favorite latte that you have been waiting all year for. A delicious pumpkin latte is the only drink that entices me to visit a coffee shop and pay way to much money for coffee as it is that good. The rest of the year, I make my coffee at home. I have never been able to make a delicious pumpkin latte at home until now. I am going to share my secret to making a delicious pumpkin latte and it all has to do with my new fancy countertop espresso machine that I receive just in time to celebrate National Coffee Day.

A holiday that includes coffee has my vote!

  I think  I know that coffee is my favorite drink and there is something special about that warm cup of coffee on a cool fall day. Picture this- you are outside watching hot air balloons float in the sky while sipping on a cup of a warm pumpkin latte that you made at home, no need to leave the house for coffee. What? You don't have hot air balloons floating over your head? You have to visit Albuquerque the first weekend in October as that is when the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta is happening and over 500 hot air balloons will be floating in the sky. This is an up-close must-see event. Back to that pumpkin latte drink that I am sipping as I am watching the balloons practice in the sky on National Coffee Day (September 29th, 2018), I should throw in the smell of green chile roasting but that was last month, glad that I have plenty in my freezer for breakfast burritos. Sorry to get off track but Albuquerque is awesome in the fall.

A sleek countertop espresso machine that makes café lattes

  Where was I? I was about to tell you about my new sleek and modern countertop espresso machine that allows anyone to make café quality lattes, cappuccinos and other specialty coffees with the push of a button and how it is the perfect way to celebrate the holiday. My Espressotoria is a perfect coffee gadget that I am having fun with. When this single serve coffee machine arrived at my house, my son pointed it out to me that I already had three coffee makers. What can I say I love coffee and I am always searching for the perfect cup of coffee. I think my 11-year-old is just jealous that he can't drink coffee yet. He steals sips of my coffee all the time when I am not looking and he even loves black coffee, crazy kid!

Espressotoria has an incredible, fresh ground taste that differs from other single serve coffee machines

  So I bet you are wondering why I have so many coffee makers. I really only have two if you count this new one as my husband uses the auto time coffee maker and my teen uses the machine that you stick little cups of coffee grounds into. I am more of an espresso coffee person and my old espresso maker is a pain to use and it does not have a one-button Milk Frother that makes perfect foam for my cappuccino or lattes. My new Espressotoria is so easy to use and it takes the guess out of making coffee as it uses Premium Coffee Capsules. It is a one press button machine that produces cafe quality espresso.

 Espressotoria is now offering 50% off – a $50 savings! – both their black and white Caprista Machines on Amazon starting today through October 6.

A great coffee maker makes great Dairy Free Pumpkin Lattes

  A great pumpkin latte starts with great tasting espresso but it also needs pure vanilla extract. My favorite vanilla extract is Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract as it makes all the difference in my coffee drinks and baking. This vanilla has a flavor profile that’s full, sweet, creamy and mellow with velvety after-tones. It is also made by a cold extraction process from premium, hand-selected beans cultivated in Madagascar. It really brings out an incredible taste when I bake so I knew it would be perfect for my Pumpkin Latte. I made this warm drink dairy free as dairy is not my friend due to lactose and allergy issues.

How To Make A Fat Free Iced Matcha Green Tea Latte

Think green tea but more powerful! Matcha green tea is delicious and loaded with health.

    Iced green tea lattes are a popular item at the coffee shops. I have seen a lot of people ordering these yummy green drinks. Green tea has a reputation for being a healthy drink. Green tea lattes may be good for you, but the ones at the coffee shops are usually loaded with fat and sugar. I recently went to a website of my favorite coffee house to look at their drink menu. I was shocked to see that my favorite tall cold green tea drinks had 35-45 grams of sugar in them. That 35 grams of sugar is equal to about 9 teaspoons or 3 tablespoons of sugar. I am going to show you how to make a healthy version of the cold green tea latte and it tastes just as good as the ones you buy. Mine will also save you money. Once you see how easy it is to make a cold green tea latte at home, you will never pay big bucks for one at the coffee shop again. If you have dairy issues or follow a vegan diet, then make sure to use non-dairy milk like almond milk. This drink is also great for a gluten-free diet.  

What I Eat In A Day For A Healthy Body

  So what is a green tea latte anyway? A green tea latte is simply a drink that is made with milk and matcha green tea powder. Green tea powder or Matcha is made from the leaves of green tea. Now we all know green tea is good for us, but Matcha is even better for us as it has way more antioxidants than a cup of brewed green tea. Matcha is the powerhouse of green tea. It is said that one teaspoon of Matcha equals ten cups of brewed green tea. Matcha has other great benefits too. This green powder enhances your mood, aids in concentration, boosts metabolism, and burns calories. The awesome thing is it does not give you the jitters like coffee, so it is a great alternative. Some people even say that matcha calms the mind and relaxes the body. I love that green tea powder has insoluble fibers, antioxidants, and L-Theanines in it. That is a whole lot of benefits for a small dose of green powder as you only need one teaspoon. I love using matcha daily for the brain, energy, and all those healthy antioxidants. I think it may be the reason my skin looks younger.

I add a 1/2 teaspoon of Matcha to my daily smoothie

I love using matcha daily for brain energy and all those healthy antioxidants. I think it may be the reason my skin looks younger.

   While I love drinking green cold green tea lattes, you can also make the cold latte a warm drink too. The green tea powder also tastes delicious as a cup of hot tea, just add the powder to a cup of warm water with some sugar for a great cup of tea. The Matcha is also great in smoothies and can be used in recipes like cookies, healthy donuts, or ice cream. I have even seen matcha in candy bars. There are so many delicious ways to use Matcha. Once you get past the green color, you will love all the benefits of  Matcha green tea powder. I love matcha for the way it helps me to concentrate in the morning so I can get my work done. It also gives me energy when I go on a power walk every morning. The antioxidants are a wonderful bonus for my body to stay healthy.

Common questions about Matcha green tea

Does Matcha have caffeine?
Yes, since Matcha is made from green tea leaves it does contain caffeine.

Is matcha green tea good for you?
Yes, matcha has many health benefits including boosting metabolism and being jam-packed with antioxidants.

Can you make a green tea latte with tea bags?
No, green tea in tea bags is processed differently than matcha so you cannot just grind up the contents of a tea bag and use it instead of matcha powder.

Can I use the Matcha powder in a hot drink?
 Yes, you can enjoy Matcha in a hot drink. Just stir a 1/2 teaspoon of Matcha powder into a glass of hot water. Add sweetener to taste. You can also make the above recipe warm, just omit the ice and use warm milk.

Other tips and tricks on this iced green tea latte recipe
You can use any type of milk in this recipe including cow’s milk, almond milk, soy milk, coconut, etc.
This recipe can be made vegan by using non-dairy milk and either maple syrup or agave sweetener instead of honey.

                                
                             Fat-Free Iced Green Tea Latte

                                            1 cup skim milk or milk substitute like almond milk

                                            1 teaspoon Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder ~ Buy on Amazon

                                            2 teaspoons honey or another sweetener like stevia

                                             1 teaspoon vanilla extract

                                            4 ice cubes

             

  Place all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Pour into a glass and enjoy with a straw. You can add more sugar if you want it sweeter. To make the drink even more delicious, you can top it with whip cream. The whipped cream does add some fat to this drink, but it is so worth it. I love using a dairy-free whipped topping on my drink.

                     Would you enjoy a cold Green Tea Latte?

It is said that one teaspoon of Matcha equals ten cups of brewed green tea. Matcha has other great benefits too. This green powder enhances your mood, aids in concentration, boosts metabolism, and burns calories. The awesome thing is it does not give you the jitters like coffee, so it is a great alternative. Some people even say that matcha calms the mind and relaxes the body. I love that green tea powder has insoluble fibers, antioxidants, and L-Theanines in it. That is a whole lot of benefits for a small dose of green powder as you only need one teaspoon. I love using matcha daily for the brain, energy, and all those healthy antioxidants. I think it may be the reason my skin looks younger.
