Servings: 1 Cup
Calories: 175kcal
Equipment
- Heat-proof cup and spoon to stir
Ingredients
- 1 Cup hot freshly made coffee Substitute: 2 shots of espresso. If you want to use cold brew, you need to blend the mixture. Using hot coffee dissolves the peanut butter without needing blending.
- 1 Tablespoon Creamy Peanut Butter I don't recommend chunky, unless you want chopped nuts in your coffee! Use a cookie/ small ice-cream scoop if you have it- makes it easier to get the sticky butter out of the spoon and into the cup!
- ½ Cup whole milk Substitute: milk of your choice. You may want to add more peanut butter if you use vegan milk which is lighter in texture to make the peanut butter coffee creamier.
- 1-2 Tablepoons brown sugar Substitute: white sugar, maple syrup or brown sugar syrup. I don't recommend honey as heat destroys the nutrients in it. For sugar-free options, click here.
Instructions
- Add the Tablespoon of peanut butter to a heat-proof glass. Tip: Using a small cookie scoop makes it easier to get the sticky butter out of the spoon
- Pour in the freshly made hot coffee- it has to be hot to dissolve the peanut butter without blending. Stir well till dissolved.Tip: If using coffee powder, scoop the powder onto the peanut butter, then add the freshly boiled water.
- Add milk and mix. I use half as much milk as coffee but you can add more or less depending on your preference. Goes well served with a peanut cookie or dark brown sugar cookie!
Notes
For a coffee house style drink in the comfort of your own home
Froth the milk before pouring it in to create milk foam and dust with some cocoa powder.
For a faster way to froth, add the peanut butter to a heat-proof mason jar. Pour the hot coffee in, close tightly and shake till frothy and everything is dissolved!
See Post for Recipe Variations such as adding chocolate or vanilla.
Making a huge batch
If you're making coffee for 10 people or more, a blender would make your life easier. Just dump it all it and blitz till homogenous and frothy.
Extra can be kept in the fridge for 1 day or frozen in ice cube containers and used to chill coffee (without fear of dilution) in future.
