Three café-style drinks with lactose-free milk

Make a warm drink at home using milk that suits you. A lactose-free label addresses the milk sugar, not a milk-protein allergy.

Serves or makes: 1 drink per variation

Ingredients

• For a flat white: 30 mL espresso and 150 mL lactose-free milk
• For an iced coffee: 30 mL cooled espresso, 150 mL lactose-free milk and ice
• For a warm vanilla milk: 200 mL lactose-free milk and a quarter teaspoon vanilla

Method

1. For the flat white, warm and froth the milk, then pour over the espresso.
2. For iced coffee, combine the cooled coffee and milk in a glass with ice.
3. For vanilla milk, warm the milk gently with vanilla without boiling.
4. Adjust caffeine to your circumstances. If using lactase drops to prepare regular milk, follow the exact Australian pack directions and treatment time; do not assume an instant result.
