Coconut cappuccino. Is this a thing? I can totally make this a thing. Months ago, people judged us for ordering matcha lattes and now the green drinks are literally everywhere – even my mum is ordering them. And today, we’re declaring that coconut milk cappuccinos are. the. next. big. thing. Going dairy-free? Becoming a vegan? Just like the taste of coconut? You’re not alone.
