This drink was created for our April Shift Drink* event, which raised money for the Coalition for the Homeless in New York City. Coconut milk + Coalition = Cocoaliton!
The main ingredient that makes this drink so special is a condensed milk with rhubarb jam. To make sweetened condensed milk, you must take milk of your choice (dairy or plant-based) and heat it to remove the water. Add sugar and rhubarb jam to create a thick and creamy consistency that gives the drink a unique texture. While sweetened condensed milk is often used in baking, it makes a delicious addition to coffee recipes.

*Shift Drink was a monthly event held throughout 2022. On the last Friday of every month, we opened our Training Centers as a pay-what-you-want pop-up cafe. Each region rotated and choose an organization in their city to raise money for and created a signature beverage to serve. We are back to hosting our cornerstone Tasting at Ten event every Friday at 10am in a city near you. Learn more and stop by for a free tasting!
