Storage

FAQs
Can I use regular milk instead of whole milk?
Yes, regular milk can be used, but whole milk helps achieve a richer, creamier foam. Lower-fat milk may result in less stable foam.
Is coconut syrup easy to find?
Coconut syrup is available at many specialty grocery stores and online. You can also substitute with vanilla syrup or make a simple coconut-flavored syrup at home.
