Skip the long lines (and sketchy ingredients) at Starbucks and make your own pumpkin spice coffee at home. Bonus: This recipe is dairy-free and all natural!
I have a confession. I love coffee. Yes, you read that right. Coffee! I try not to drink it everyday because I don’t feel well when I do. Now that the weather is cool I find myself needing a cup everyday. Of course, I always add cream, virgin coconut oil and honey (sometimes coconut sugar) to my coffee. It’s like having dessert first thing in the morning!
The last few weeks I’ve been enjoying pumpkin spice coffee and it is delicious! I’ve made this with raw milk and coconut milk and I’ve decided coconut milk is the winner. I tell myself that I’m burning a bunch of fat with every sip (because coconut oil speeds up your metabolism). 😉
If you want a more vanilla creamer, try out this coconut milk creamer recipe.
Pumpkin spice creamer ingredients
- 2 cans of organic coconut milk. You are going to use one full can of coconut milk and just the cream for the second can. Refrigerate one of the cans of coconut milk overnight. In the morning open the can and scoop off the cream. (You can also DIY coconut milk at home if you prefer – it’s super easy!)
- 5 tablespoons organic pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons pure maple syrup, raw honey or sweetener of choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (try making your own vanilla extract at home – it’s awesome)
- Extra cinnamon for dusting (optional, but makes it look so much prettier)

Now I have a question for all you coffee lovers out there.
Do you have any recommendations for an alternative to coffee? Other than decaf. I’ve tried Teeccino, which is okay, but I’m looking for something closer to real coffee. Let me know in the comments if you have any recommendations! Thanks 🙂

Thank you for sharing! Being on AIP, I tried another recipe and didn’t care for it. I really like the combinations in this one and the ratios. Tastes great and no weird texture. Looking forward to making my own pumpkin spice lattes this Fall and Winter!

I also love coffee but try to cut down. I live in Sweden so I do not know if you can find the same products but one is Chikko Not Coffee Roasted Chicory and another is a Green coffee powder (unroasted green coffee beans to avoid the caffeine)
I don’t do well with coffee I never drank it til I started making bullet coffee four years ago at 64 yrs old. It makes my kidneys hurt and I find I have to urinate all the time! Try Pero coffee substitute from Germany. Looks like instant coffee and has barley and chicory tastes very much like coffee.
I love coffee too, just not the side effects!! I would feel worse after my morning cup of joe. I finally found an alternative, that tastes just like coffee and I feel better…love it. Its mushroom mixed with coffee, so a lot less caffeine but you still feel that energy boost and it tastes great! I purchase it from a company called Four Sigmatic.
★★★★★
As someone mentioned, Chaga is a great coffee substitute. I brew Chaga with Turkey tail mushrooms, in my slow cooker overnight. Strain and refrigerate. I also like to use a blend of roasted chicory and roasted dandelion root. Sometimes, I use the chaga tea as the liquid for making coffee. I use about half the normal amount of ground coffee, thus is one way I found to also get off of coffee, slowly.
Once I add sweetener, my creamer and sometimes coconut oil or butter, it takes so much like coffee. I also like Teecimo
I made this today and my coffee tasted like desert in a cup! I couldn’t decide if I wanted to use maple syrup or honey, so I used 3 Tbsp of each. It was perfect. Would be great added to hot cocoa, too. Thanks for sharing this one.
Glad you liked it!
In regard to coffee, don’t feel guilty. Coffee contains antioxidants and trace minerals pulled deep from earth by the roots of the plant. It has many health benefits! Google It! I have used chicory root as a coffee alternative. You can find it at health food stores. It also has many health benefits. Mix the two half and half. Harney and sons sells a hot cinnamon spice tea that is delicious and naturally sweet. It would mix great with the pumpkin spice creamer.
I can’t drink coffee because of gut issues. However a few yrs ago at my local health food store I tried a cup of Bio Coffee. I think you can get it on Amazon . Taste just like coffee and heals your gut at the same time. Has wheatgrass Chicory root, non dairy creamer and tastes delicious. Kind of pricey but worth every penny!
Looking forward to trying this creamer, have made my own but not with the pumpkin puree, sounds wonderful. As for the coffee, well I like Teeccino but only when blended with regular coffee. I have not found another alternative, but if you do buy decaf make sure it says Swiss water decaf, if it doesn’t then it has been done with nasty chemicals which in a lot of people cause rapid heart beat, headaches etc, I’ve learned this from experience and research. Hope you find something you like.
Dandy Blend is a great alternative to coffee.
I have heard Tetley tea from UK is good. like coffee. I have not tried
I love “Dandy Blend” instant herbal beverage with dandelion. It tastes so similar to coffee! It is gluten free, caffeine free, no acidity and not bitter. 7 oz will yield 100 cups . I ordered mine from Amazon.
My friend love “Pero”. I have not tried it yet
Yummy, I love everything coconut…always have. ????
★★★★★
How long will this keep in the fridge? I live alone and only drink one cup of coffee a day. It sounds delicious! Maybe I’ll try halving it.
I love Cafix. It is a non-caffeinated, non-coffee dry mix that I add to heated milk of my choice. It tastes the MOST like coffee I’ve found.
I use Bambu (Rye, Chickory, Barley, Malted Barley, Figs, Acorns). I’m not a big fan of coffee substitutes, simply because I’m not keen on the flavour, but this one I quite like. It’s hard to find, but Famous Foods carries it.
Thanks, Tiffany, for all your good work. Love your recipies!
This will definitely put me in the October groove. Thanks!

Hi, I made this last night and it tasted yummy on its own.
This morning I put it in my coffee and no matter how much I stirred it or thinned it down with fat-free coconut milk it seemed to curdle.
Is it curdling in the coffee of is that fat separating?
What does your cup of coffee look like with this creamer?
Have you tried not putting anything in your coffee? Maybe it is not the coffee that makes you feel sick but all the things you put in combining with it. Maybe try just a little butter and a quick blend to make it creamy. Perhaps your body doesn’t like liquid sweet in the morning. Mine doesn’t.
Tiffany I love all your recipes but I get fuzzy trying to find my way back to another one I wanted to try. Is there an indexed place we can find them? Or have you put it all in a book yet? Xxxxx
Alternate for coffee!
How about chicory?
Thank you for these recipes! I just started drinking Dandy Blend because I can’t handle coffee and I like it with So Delicious French Vanilla Coconut Creamer. There’s sugar in the creamer, but it’s sooo good! I add this creamer to avocado/banana pudding for my granddaughter and she loves it!
Ok I am trying to give up can goods due to bpa. If I use your homemade recipe how but do I use and do I refrigerate half overnight? I am making some with cans now but would like in homemade next time.
What is the best way to store the left over creamer?..in a mason jar? And how long will the creamer last?
Thank you
A great alternative to coffee is Chaga mushroom! It has a great flavor and many health benefits. Btw this sounds great. 🙂
Chaga. Really, it’s great.
Love your blog, have you ever heard of Trim Healthy Mama? They use a lot of coconut and I thougt you might enjoy!
Tiffany,
E.O. is right, if you want to change to a different, more natural type of “coffee”, take a break from the real stuff first and then start something new. I drink Pero, which is a chickory/barley blend, or dandelion coffee. Add your yummy little creamer recipe here and it’s an excellent and nutritious drink. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Roastaroma from Celestial Seasonings, is the best coffee substitute, as far as I have tried. Though I live in the very best coffee plantations land! Coatepec, Veracruz, Mexico!
I have been sharing this recipe on facebook, it is so awesome!!
Thanks for sharing! <3
Roastaroma has been my coffee substitute for decades! I order it by the case directly from Celestial Seasonings since I can no longer find it in southern U.S. markets. I’ve been adding coconut milk and a few drops of english toffee flavored liquid stevia to it, but I’m so looking forward to trying this pumpkin creamer recipe. That should really make my day!
how long will this last once refrigerated?
Up to two weeks. 🙂
I love my Pero. I had to go off of coffee 14 years ago, because every time I drank it, it gave me heartburn. I had a latte 6 months ago and it still gave me heartburn. I’m going to make this recipe to put in my Pero. I think it will be similar to a latte.
Dandy Blend is, IMHO the BEST non coffee hot, dark brown, a wee bit bitter beverage I’ve found! “I” get it on Amazon….
How long does this keep for in the fridge?
I used yacon syrup instead of honey. It does well in temps below 248 degrees. It is natural and organic and low glycemic index. I also used about a teaspoon of ghee for the creamier texture. Can not wait til tomorrow morning to use it!
I can’t wait to try this!
If you have a Keurig machine, Newman’s Own Organics Special Decaf K-Cup Coffee is delicious and organic! I highly recommend this one!
How long can you store it in drive for?
Thanks!
If you’re looking for a coffee that is good try Longevity Coffee. Health Guru David Wolfe is the one we heard about it from. Longevity Coffee is alkaline, yes, alkaline unlike regular coffee that is acidic. I drink the Longevity some mornings just for a wee boost and there’s no crash with this coffee. I can’t drink regular coffee it really bothers my digestion. I’m going to make your Pumpkin Pie Spice Creamer at Thanksgiving and add it to my Longevity Coffee. You can google this, it’s from Longevity Warehouse. Mind you the coffee is $20.00 a pound but it’s worth it if you use it occasionally.
This sounds yummy! Thank you for sharing! I have found a Kosher coffee that I love that doesn’t give me jitters, heart palpitations, or terrible acid. Plus, the added herbs have healthy benefits. 🙂
I don’t want to spam you but if you’d like the name, feel free to message me. 🙂
Choffy or Crio Bru brewed cocoa are delicious! You can find them on Amazon. I’ve also seen Crio Bru in health food stores. It resembles coffee more than cocoa in taste since it’s just the brewed bean. I’ll be trying mine with this recipe! Yum!
Crio Bru is fabulous, brews like coffee, tastes like chocolate – my favourite is the Cavalla blend and also have Maracaibo in the cupboard too!
For instant I’ve just tried Orzo Pronto – organic instant barley drink and will switch to it after I’ve finished my chicory Cup (by Barleycup) which I whizz up with coconut milk & oil ???? so will be trying the pumpkin spice too, thank you.
(I’m in UK so not sure about availability)
So can this be refrigerated to use throughout the week?
Yes 🙂

Is there an alternative for coconut milk?? I am allergic to coconut.
Dandy Blend is pretty close.
choffee is a good one
Have you heard of Organo Gold? It’s real coffee loaded with healthy benefits and minus the negative aspects of traditional coffee. Check out my website at http://www.ogcoffeecorner.com for more info. Let me know if you have any questions 🙂
I’m a decaf girl. Can’t wait to try your creamer sounds delicious.
Bizarre question, but what font is that on the picture?
I think it’s Emily Candy (picmonkey)
I quit coffee almost 3 years ago and replaced it with Yerba mate. Now that’s my morning addiction made into a latte w/ coconut milk!! I can’t wait to try this recipe. Thanks!
Pero isn’t too bad. But coffee is coffee and there is nothing close to it that I would use as a substitute for the flavor. There are plenty of dark brown chicory based substitutes but I think all in all, I will just drink tea instead of coffee substitutes if I ever leave the realms of coffee.
I don’t drink coffee, but I’m thinking this would be fabulous thrown in an ice cream maker. Have you ever tried it?
I have and it was INCREDIBLE, use a bit more pumpkin!
Dandy Blend! It tastes like coffee, but no caffeine and it is good for you. Made with dandelion and chicory. It’s an herbal supplement that tastes like coffee! All you do is add water or milk. I personally heat up some water and then do part hot water, part raw milk. Delish! And now I will have to add this pumpkin spice creamer! Yum!! Thank you for sharing
We’re gonna try Dandy Blend…thanks for your recommendation
How many cups of coffee is this recipe for? How much do you put into a 10oz mug or a regular cup?
Thanks
How many cups of coffee is this recipe for? How much do you put into a 10oz mug or a regular cup?
Thanks
If using milk and cream how much would I use of each? This sounds amazing! Thank you.
Just wondering how long this would last refrigerated? I love this, thanks so much!!
About a week.
So wanted to try the Dandy blend that a lot of people suggest as an alternative to coffee.. I see that it has sugar beets in it.. Known to be GMO.. so this product is NOT GmO free.
I hear you, but on their site, Dandy says:
Dandy Blend is
produced for us by Biogran GmbH in Poland, the largest manufacturer of
cereal beverages in the world. They private label for over 90 companies
on 7 continents in addition to producing their own roasted grain
beverage that is used by over 7 million households a day in Eastern
Europe. They use no GMO ingredients and produce Dandy Blend on a line
that is used for both organic and kosher beverages. They maintain a
quality management system that fulfills
ISO 9001:2008 standards.
I would have also questioned the grains in it.
Does this actually taste like coffee??
Roasted Dandelion Root tea is a great alternative. It tastes closer to coffee than Teeccino. I love Teeccino but Roasted Dandelion Root is still my favorite as far as coffee taste.
Dandy Blend! Nice flavor, not bitter at all.
Oh my gosh! This was so wonderful and I am excited to have a jar of this creamer to sample all week long!! Thank you for sharing!
I use roasted chicory root with just a tiny bit of coffee in it for the flavor. So like 1Tablespoon to 1/2 tsp.
The chicory root offers an amazing bonus in that it has Inulin which is like a pre-biotic. It feeds the probiotics and allows for a more stable gut environment. Has helped me tremendously with getting over candida!!!
In the south, we drink chicory. During the slave era, coffee was not available to the workers but chicory was a wild root that when roasted and ground tasted very much like coffee. Ironically, it became a favorite with the white population as well. During the war, chicory was also used to make coffee go further. Now you know
I am planning on trying this with Dandyblend which I really like the taste already…replacing my italian /french roast coffee obsession with it. This will be a grand dessert for me!
Can I make this with milk/cream? I would love a home made creamer my daughter can drink, she is allergic to coconut! So we do Raw milk and alot of it…….. Thanks!
Yes, raw milk and cream will be delicious! 🙂
Do you know how much raw cream would equal 2 cans of coconut milk? Thank you.
The cans of coconut milk she suggests are 13.5 ounces. You’re only using 1 whole can for the recipe, and then the fat on the top from the 2nd can. I’m not sure how many ounces the cream from the 2nd can is..so I’m not sure how much raw cream you’d need.. I’d try around 14 oz maybe (That’s 1 and 3/4 cup).
I like to drink Choffy as an alternative to coffee! This would probably be AMAZING with it!
Can this be refrigerated? My son, a vegan, and his friend, a vegetarian, are coming for Christmas. I’d like to make this for them, but don’t think we’d use all of it at once, Sounds delish!
I plan to make this with raw milk and raw cream. I freeze raw milk all the time, so any beyond what I think I can use within a week I will freeze. I would think you could freeze coconut milk and coconut cream also. I buy one pint and half pint milk bottles and freeze in those, with at least 1/2 – 3/4 inch headspace. I just take a bottle out of the freezer about 2 days before I plan to use it and put it in the refrigerator. It’s ready when I am. That way, not a DROP of my precious (and expensive!) raw milk goes to waste. I would think the experiment with coconut milk would be worth it. Oh — I see now your inquiry was 11 months ago. Presume you already have the answer to your question. Well, maybe someone else will benefit from my information. Cheers!
Oh My Goodness, this sounds so good, am going to have to make it with the coconut milk I won from you, that is the only ingredient I lack, what a surprise, thank you.
to sub for coffee, how about a homemade pumpkin chai?
As for coffee substitutes, I like Dandy Blend (our co-op sells) it. You don’t brew it like coffee (it’s a fine powder), you add hot water to it, but has the most coffee-like taste I’ve found. it’s made of dandelion root like some of the other
I mix 1/2 roasted dandelion root with 1/2 chicory root for a coffee substitute. They can be bought in bulk and its probably as expensive as buying coffee. It’s pretty good, a little more bitter than coffee. I french press it.
Ganocafe. Soooo good. But doesn’t brew like reg coffee
Naatures Sunshine has a product with Chicory, barley and some other ingredients that tastes similar to coffee…
Crio Bru, pure cacao beans, just brew them like coffee. There are different “flavors” by what the cacao grows by, all very delish!
Sounds good! I’ll have to try this 🙂
So glad I just happen to have puréed pumpkin in the frig waiting for me to make this creamer!
Here is the recipe – http://thehealthyadvocate.com/2011/05/25/grain-free-baking-powder-recipe/
This sounds delicious. Just wondering how long can I keep this in the fridge?
I tried Ersatz brand coffee substitute. It is great, but I am excited to try this dandy people are talking about.
———————————– My doctor took me off of all caffine so no coffee for me except decaffinated so we add a little sprinkle of salt to it when its brewing to make it smoother tasting…it really does work! We have even used the CHEAP-O decaf coffee doing this & it tastes great this way….Just my 2 cents worth…hope it helps you some 🙂
Research swiss water decaf….it is truly a naturally decaffeinated coffee. Also essential eating author discussed coffee that is cold brewed. It digests differently and should not have the side effects that many people have with regular coffee. I personally am not a die hard coffee drinker but I have tried both things mentioned above and was satisfied, although I now am off coffee altogether.
Cold brewed coffee has no side effects for me. I use decaf beans, coarse grind. It’s much less bitter than regular coffee.
Have you tried Life Extension Rich Rewards decaf? It’s a healthy roast organic coffee that is slow roasted to preserve antioxidants .
It’s very mild on th estomach and seems to be sort of a healthy coffee..
Try Dandy Blend! I Love that for a switch up! You can make as strong as you like. 🙂
I like the Roastaroma tea by Celestial Seasonings for a coffee substitute.
Dandy Blend is great and healthy and I also add homemade almond milk to it. I recommend it to my patients. You can buy it online.
Love this recipe! I’m featuring it tomorrow in a post! Thanks!
Angie@ConsciousEatery
You sould try dandy blend! I love it 🙂
Try Choffy! It’s roasted, ground cacao beans. Chocolately goodness with no sugar, grains, or dairy. Great with coconut milk! It has a little caffeine, since it IS pure chocolate beans.
http://www.drinkchoffy.com/inspired
My kids love it, too.
I love coffee too! That sounds great – I will have to try!
Thanks,
Theresa ~ SCD Griddle
I gave up coffee several months ago and spent a lot of time searching for something to replace the coffee with. The only thing that gave me nearly the same sense of satisfaction in the morning was milk heated on the stove with cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, vanilla and honey in it, but then I had to give that up too because the milk was causing me issues (we can’t get raw milk up here in Canuckistan). 🙁
I wonder if it’s mold in the particular coffee beans you are using that is causing the issue..? I came across this guy who calls himself the Bulletproof Exec (I have absolutely no affiliation with this guy or his products, aside to say I agree with some of the things he has to say and others, not so much. lol), who talked about what he called (of course) Bulletproof Coffee. He sells his own brand of coffee, but he also details specific things you should look for if you’re sourcing your own coffee. IIRC, he states that 100% arabica, high-altitude grown, wet-processed beans are the least likely to have mold on them, and it’s this mold that causes a lot of people issues. Then again, some people just have issues with coffee, period, so your mileage may vary on this… I found when I tracked down some Mexican beans that had the qualities he mentioned, I did feel differently when drinking that coffee than when I’d been drinking the crap from the grocery store. He also suggests blenderizing some grassfed butter into your coffee also, which I have been doing, and it’s been surprisingly delicious – never thought I’d like coffee without any sweetener, but the butter somehow takes the bitter edge off the coffee, go figure. 🙂 That said, having found your recipe above, I will be very happy to try it since a) I love coconut milk, and b) it fits right in with the Primal diet we’ve switched to in our house. Yay!
I’ll third the Dandy Blend!
I bought it to convert my hubby, who used to drink a pot of coffee a day – just for the flavor! I love coffee too, but have never been addicted like he was. He loves Dandy Blend now too!
Absolutely brilliant!! I will be featuring this recipe tonight on AFW!! Just love this.:-)
Hugs,
–Amber
You had me at pumpkin! YUMMO got it pinned and tweeted!
Yes on Dandy Blend! I am (was) a diehard coffee drinker, but it has been giving me to much tummy troubles and contributing to my insomnia. Dandy Blend is the only suitable replacement that I’ve found. I use 2 Tbs to make it strong, but seriously I don’t even miss coffee anymore and that is saying A LOT. ….and no, I don’t work for them, I just love it that much, hahaha!
Hi Anita,
Thank you for your comment. I want to quit drinking coffee because I don’t feel well when I drink it. I don’t have anything against coffee other than that :). My understanding is that decafe is pretty bad, that is why I am looking for an alternative.
Why do you want an alternative to coffee? That bs about coffee being bad for you was debunked years ago. It’s GOOD for you.
@ 3 cups a day. It’s full if antioxidants and other good stuff.
Organic free trade is best. Cow milk makes me nauseous, soy is GMO, so I use rice milk, cinnamon and sometimes dark chocolate which is ALSO good for you! I’m looking forward to the pumpkin flavoring.
Love your site.
Try Dandy Blend (dandyblend.com) for a good coffee substitute. I drink it daily and love it. Now I can’t wait to try it with the Pumpkin.
Sheri Trout » I have never tried Dandy Blend. I plan on trying it soon! Thanks 🙂
This looks delicious! My sisters and I played around with just pureed pumpkin and added that to coffee, tea, and home-made eggnog. It was kind of like chai spiced pumpkin puree. And to help me kick my coffee habit I started making homemade chai tea! I like it better anyways and it has so much less caffeine. Then I gradually weaned to just herbal teas on a daily basis and feel much better!
Another good substitute for coffee is Krakus. Thank you for the recipe.
I really like roasted dandelion tea in place I coffee in the evening. There is a celestial seasonings tea called roast aroma too but it has roasted barley in it which is off limits for me. Both are inexpensive and a good sub.
Yum! This looks awesome!! My kids have a dairy allergy so we don’t keep it in the house. I normally make cashew and almond milk for my decaf coffee but I’ve been dreaming of my very own pumpkin spice latte 🙂 Can’t wait to try this! Oh, and I recommend dandy blend for a coffee alternative.
Roasted dandelion root! It’s a great substitute for coffee–toasty, rich, and full bodied–and is a great liver cleanser as well.
Question:I am assuming you refrigerate it til needed.
Sherry England » Yes! I guess I should have mentioned that 🙂
I didn’t care for Teeccino either . The best substitute I have found for coffee is Cafe Du monde one, which has chicory in it which reduces the negative effects of coffee. Hope that helps. This tastes better with coconut milk in it though. Not coffee free but better than drinking just coffee 🙂
http://www.cafedumonde.com/coffee
I have a good alternative to coffee. It also has Chicory in it. It is called Pero. It is very close to tasting like coffee and it is totally good for you with no negative effects. I love it and hope you do too. : )
What about your yummy nourishing mineral whey drink? That has a roasted yummy kinda coffee taste!! Mark and Levi love it when I make it for them 🙂
Can’t wait to try this recipe! As far as coffee goes, there really is nothing (to me) that tastes like real coffee. 🙁
I just discovered (but haven’t tried it yet) a special single source organic coffee that is only treated with water, instead of being left to mildew and stripped with chemicals. http://www.bulletproofexec.com/coffee/ Looking forward to treating my husband and I to it soon!
Coincidentally, there is this coffee recipe called “Bulletproof Coffee” and one variation is to make it with grass fed butter and coconut oil. Oh my. It is like THEE most divine coffee I have ever had. Creamy, rich, YUM!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeWINSaGuBQ She makes hers with espresso, but my husband and I use coffee and it is fantastic!
Ooo! Adrienn @ Whole New Mom emailed me this recipe for homemade coffee alternative http://wholenewmom.com/health-concerns/coffee-subtitute/. I’ll be trying it out!
Thanks for all the feedback everyone!
I really like Dandy Blend that you can buy online at their website. I use cream or coconut cream in it. When I have regular coffee, I make sure that it’s organic and buy my cream from a farmer.
I used to use Pero, but it’s not low carb. Now I’ve bought organic coffee, to try to be healthier and still have a cup of coffee a day.
Don’t give up coffee! Just switch to a HEALTHY coffee! I used to have health issues related to coffee until I took the 30-day challenge and tried this coffee exclusively. Health issues are gone and I feel great! Feel free to go to my website and read the testimonials and try some for yourself.
Thanks. For your. Information. Very much appreciated.
I used to have health issues related to coffee! I have found a HEALTH COFFEE!! Yes, that is correct! No more health issues, I have natural energy all day long without the horrible highs and lows of typical coffee and I sleep great. On top of that, it is good for you. Infused with 100% organic ganoderma, which is amazing for your immue system, kidneys and more. Feel free to read my testimonial as well as others. Take the 30 day challenge! Drink my coffee exclusively for 30 days and see how you feel! http://cowgirldivaz.com/Organo/organo.htm
I had to give up coffee this year because it was making me feel so bad! I REALLY miss it, especially when my husband brews some at home. But I feel so much better, so its worth it! I too have tried to satisfied with Teeccino, but I find I never finish my cup (guess its just not close enough to coffee). I recently found a naturally decaffinated black tea by Stash called Chocolate Hazelnut and I’m really enjoying it. Even though its a tea, I think it comes closer to coffee than Teeccino. Now I just have to research about the “naturally decaffinated” process and see if its something I really want to be drinking.
@ Susie – It won’t be as good, but yes you can 🙂
Becky, I use Let’s Do Organic Coconut Cream: http://www.amazon.com/Lets-Do-Organic-Creamed-Coconut/dp/B00113ZZ5U
Question: can I use lite coconut milk?? Been looking for something like this!!
I was very addicted to Frappuccino’s (I know…bad!) But! the thing that got me off them was white tea. I steep it and drink it just like coffee…with the creamer and all. Love it! Much healthier 🙂
I drink Mate Chocolatte (http://guayaki.com/product/51/Mate-Chocolatte.html) once in awhile as a coffee substitute. It’s organic, free trade, gluten free & super yummy.
This looks amazingly delicious! Have GOT to try this sometime soon!
Is there a place to buy just the coconut cream/fat? I go through so many cans of coconut milk and fat! And if I want to just make coconut whipped cream?….Oi.
Thanks for the recipe. Yum, yum! As with all substitutes, I find not eating or drinking the item your trying to mock for a considerable time makes the gluten-free bread, the meat-analog, dairy or coffee substitutes taste a whole lot better when it has been a while since you last ate the item your trying to substitute. I try to go a good month or more with out the beloved item before switching to a substitute for it and find my taste buds adapt and transition to the new item more readily. Chai Tea is a good coffee substitute as it tastes wonderful warm with cream and stevia in it but it already has flavoring so something like this recipe wouldn’t work well with it. Dandelion root tea is one you can grow/grind yourself or buy prepackaged which doesn’t have a lot of flavor that can easily take the flavor of a creamer like this recipe.
