You can also making it decaff if you want, or without coffee flavor – just replace coffee with water. If you don’t own an espresso machine (cause most of us don’t) then use instant espresso instead.

In our home, no one drinks coffee on the regular, but we always keep a box of instant in the cupboard for when we have guests over. You can find all the ingredients in a regular grocery store. You can make it gluten free if you choose gluten free oats in the shop. And you can make them completely raw. You’ll find the recipe under.
