What Makes This Coffee Special?
The Yogurt Coffee combines the acidity of cold brew with the tanginess of Greek yogurt and the smoothness of coconut water. The cinnamon adds a warm, cozy note, while the salt helps to balance out the sourness of the yogurt. The foam created by shaking the mixture gives it a smooth, creamy texture, and the maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness to balance the flavors.
Cooking Tips
- Adjust the flavors: Since the recipe doesn’t have exact measurements, taste as you go and adjust the amount of yogurt, cinnamon, and maple syrup to your liking.
- Shake it up: Shaking the drink in a jar will help mix the yogurt and create foam. It’s much more effective than stirring.
- Choose your sweetener: If maple syrup isn’t your thing, feel free to try other sweeteners like honey or agave syrup.
- Use quality cold brew: Since cold brew is the base of the drink, using a well-made cold brew will significantly improve the overall flavor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Yes, you can use regular yogurt, but Greek yogurt will give the drink a richer, creamier texture.
Do I need to add sweetener?
While the recipe doesn’t call for sweetener, adding a bit of maple syrup or your preferred sweetener will help balance out the tanginess of the yogurt and the acidity of the coffee.

You can substitute coconut water with regular water, almond milk, or oat milk for a different flavor profile.
How do I make this drink without a jar?
If you don’t have a jar, simply stir the ingredients together in a large glass, though shaking it will help create the foam.
How do I know how much cinnamon to use?
Start with around 12 shakes of cinnamon, as suggested in the recipe, but feel free to add more or less depending on how strong you like the cinnamon flavor.
How to Store
Store any leftover Yogurt Coffee in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. However, since the yogurt can separate, it's best to enjoy it fresh.
