Kahlua Coffee Ingredients

Note: If you are on a strict dairy-free diet for whatever reason, I encourage you to use the Barista brand or alternative milks for making coffee with as they froth and steam better due to having improved fat to protein ratios and don’t curdle as easily as regular alternative milks do when frothing and steaming.
