This summer, cloud coffee is making waves as a refreshing iced drink that combines espresso with coconut water. Social media is buzzing with fans claiming it’s a healthier alternative to traditional coffee. The drink is said to be hydrating and packed with electrolytes, making it popular among those looking for a new coffee experience. Recipes vary widely, with some adding nut milk, coconut cream, or even using a frother for a unique texture.
• Cloud coffee is made by pouring espresso over ice, then adding coconut water and optional nut milk.
• Coconut water is rich in potassium, which can help with hydration and may even be as effective as sports drinks for replenishing fluids.
• Some studies suggest coconut water can help lower blood pressure in those with early hypertension.
• However, cloud coffee can also be high in calories, sugar, and saturated fat, depending on the ingredients used.
Trying cloud coffee can be a fun addition to your summer drinks, but moderation is key. It may not significantly impact a healthy diet, but it’s wise to choose low-sugar coconut water and watch your overall caffeine intake.
