Tips for Leftovers and Storage

Pro Tips

• Chill your coffee before blending so the ice doesn’t melt too fast.
• Shake your can of coconut cream before opening if it’s separated.
• If your blender struggles with ice, crush the ice a little first.
• Taste before serving — you might want a tiny bit more sweetener.
