TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST DRINKS WITH KEURIG K CAFE
1. The beauty of these recipes is that they’re super flexible. Use cows’ milk, almond, coconut, or oat milk. You also don’t have to use only vanilla or caramel. Try adding other flavors as well, like toasted marshmallows, hazelnut, or raspberry. Choose your own adventure!
2. Use dark roasted or espresso-style k cups. They keep the flavor well and won’t get watered down.
3. Cold milk froths better. Always add cold milk to the frother.
4. Use 2% milk because it’s perfect for almost all drinks. It will create a nice foam, but will also give creaminess and sweetness.
5. For an extra creamy mocha or iced coffee try whole milk. The foam won’t be as rich but the taste will be absolutely perfect.
6. Don’t use too much ice for iced drinks – add only 4, 5 large ice cubes per drink.
Enjoy!
