Ember Tips

What is turbinado sugar?

Turbinado sugar is partially-refined, light-brown sugar that retains some of its original molasses. The most popular and well-known brand of turbinado sugar is Sugar in the Raw, which can be found at most stores.

Can this be made dairy-free?

Absolutely! Just like you can swap out milk to make a vegan maple pecan latte, the milk in this recipe can be changed out for the milk substitute of your choice.

I don’t have espresso. How do I brew extra strong coffee?

To make extra strong coffee, you simply need to adjust the water-to-coffee ratio used to make the brew. In this instance, just increase the amount of grounds used without adjusting the amount of water.

Most coffees use a 1:18 coffee-water ratio, so start there and slowly increase the amount of coffee until you find the balance that works for you.

Enjoy this delicious recipe at 133°F in your Ember Mug² and make sure that you have an Ember Cup on hand for the other espresso-based drinks you are sure to whip up this fall.
