Coffee is the second most popular beverage in India after tea. Its consumption is rapidly rising in the country and has also become a morning routine in many households. Traditionally made with milk, sugar and coffee powder, this beverage also has other variations. The most popular types of coffee drinks are espresso, mocha, americano, cappuccino and black coffee. As in most of the recipes, milk is an essential ingredient, coffee becomes unsuitable for vegans.
There are many people who follow a vegan diet, and they are forced to switch to black coffee. But is it necessary to punish your taste buds because of your diet preference? Not really. Vegans face many difficulties in eating but for coffee you don’t have to. There are many quick and simple vegan coffee recipes which taste incredibly delicious.
