Having a routine can be very satisfying and one of my favorite routines is having a cup of coffee or tea in the mornings (after my Ketogenic green smoothie).
But it can get boring just drinking black coffee or black tea all the time, so if you miss your lattes and cappuccinos, then this list of Ketogenic coffee and tea recipes is for you! I would give these drinks a try even if you’re not on a Ketogenic diet. These coffee and tea recipes are very low in sugar or carbohydrates (and they’re Paleo) and can be a great way to energize yourself in the morning without the mid-morning sugar crash!
And if you’re not a coffee fan, don’t worry because we have a ton of refreshing tea recipes – some are made from black tea, some are herbal, and some are fruity.
For something different, why not try the Vanilla Maca Latte or the Homemade Vanilla Chocolate Rooibos Tea recipe.

Cold Brew and Iced Coffee Recipes
How to Make Cold Brew Coffee
– The Coconut Mama
Ingredients: coffee, water.

Here is a basic recipe for cold brew coffee that can be altered to suit your own taste. It is simple to make and can be stored in the fridge. Many of us love our daily hit of coffee, but because this is cold brew, it is ideal for warmer days. If you are using a mason jar to make this, just remember to strain the grounds through a cheesecloth or sieve first!
Spiced Cacao Cold Brew Coffee
– My Heart Beets
Ingredients: ground coffee, ground cacao nibs, water, nutmeg, cinnamon

Adding the cacao nibs to this cold brew gives a subtle chocolate note to this coffee making it more like mocha. If you like your coffee stronger, then simply add more ground coffee. The spices in this recipe give it a warming flavor but it would be easy to use your own ideas to spice this up – how about a hint of chilli or pepper?
Toasted Coconut Cold-Brewed Iced Coffee
– Aris Menu
Ingredients: ground coffee, unsweetened toasted coconut, water.
The main difference between cold brew and normal hot coffee is that cold brew is a lot less bitter and has a smoother flavor. Don’t be scared by the amount of coffee grounds in this recipe – it makes a coffee concentrate which you add water to, so you can dilute it to your taste. The coconut adds to the smoothness of the coffee and makes a great partnership.
Paleo Frappuccino
– Forest and Fauna
Ingredients: dandelion coffee or regular chilled coffee/cold brew, coconut milk (or any other “milk”), sweetener (optional).
This cold coffee is a great way to start the day! It gives you the caffeine you need and tastes great without sweetener, but if you need to sweeten it, you can try adding stevia. This will also give you the slow release energy you might need if you have a busy day ahead.
How to Make Iced Latte
– Cook Eat Paleo
Ingredients: ice cubes, cashew milk, espresso.

Iced coffee is made with hot water then chilled over ice, rather than being cold brewed. This is another basic recipe that you can adapt to suit your own taste by adding flavorings, spices or sweetening agents if you like, and if you are not too keen on cashew milk then simply replace it with your favorite nut milk.
Latte and Cappuccino Recipes
Coconut Milk Latte
– Stupid Easy Paleo
Ingredients: coffee, coconut cream or full-fat coconut milk, cinnamon (optional).
If you like your coffee creamy then this latte recipe is for you! It can be served hot or you can chill it. Please remember that if you are using coconut cream, you should brew your coffee hot, not cold brewed, as the cream will set in chilled water! Adding the cinnamon to this latte gives it a lovely spicy taste, but simply leave it out if you’re not keen.
Vanilla Maca Latte
– Delicious Obsessions
Ingredients: brewed herbal coffee, full fat coconut milk, vanilla extract, maca powder, cinnamon, nutmeg.
This dairy and caffeine-free latte is great for anyone who can’t tolerate dairy, or has to avoid caffeine. When you blend the drink the coconut milk forms a lovely frothy top, so not only does it taste great, it really looks like a latte too! The maca powder has a sweet flavor and can also be used in smoothies.
Dairy-Free Cappuccino
– Cook Eat Paleo
Ingredients: espresso, homemade cashew milk, sweetener of choice (optional), cinnamon (optional).

This is a great coffee to impress your friends! It combines the creamy taste of the cashew milk with espresso, giving you a fantastic coffee hit, but without the dairy. A sprinkle of cinnamon makes this look even more appetizing and has a subtle, warming flavor, but it still looks great without it, or swap it out for a spice of your choice!
Other Coffee Recipes
The Ultimate Paleo Coffee
– Paleo Flourish Magazine
Ingredients: ghee, coconut oil, coconut or almond milk, coffee.
You might think it is strange to put ghee and oil into coffee, but if you like your coffee frothy them blending these ingredients in gives a great froth and an amazing smooth taste! Just use a hand blender or a milk frother if you have one. This recipe is quick and easy to make then you can just relax and enjoy.
Cinnamon Coffee
– Domestic Soul
Ingredients: coffee, cinnamon.
The subtle heat from the cinnamon gives you such a warming feeling, making this the ideal cup of coffee for those chilly days or just for relaxing with a good book! Cinnamon is also good for you and has been shown to help with regulating blood sugar so it’s a big help if you are having blood sugar problems or are pre-diabetic.
Turkish Cardamom Coffee
– Beauty and the Foodie
Ingredients: ground coffee beans, hot water, cardamom pods, cream and sweetener of choice to taste (optional).

Turkish coffee is renowned world-wide for its excellent flavor, and this one is no different. The cardamom pods add an Eastern flavor to this drink and help with the smoothness of the taste. If you like your coffee black then you will love this one, or use cream if you prefer.
Herbal Coffee Bulletproof
– The Nourished Caveman
Ingredients: coconut oil, ghee or grass fed butter, coconut cream, herbal coffee.

This is a great recipe if you have problems that can be made worse with caffeine, such as blood sugar and thyroid difficulties. There are many herbal coffees available on the market, so just experiment till you find your favorite. You don’t have to buy an expensive coffee maker either – a simple hand blender does the job!
Teas for Health and Well Being
Paleo Allergy Tea
– The Paleo Effect
Ingredients: peppermint, spearmint leaf, red clover, lemongrass, nettle leaf, yerba mate or yerba santa, calendula, eyebright, lavender, stevia leaf, chamomile.

This is the perfect tea to try if you, like many others, suffer from hay fever. The mint leaves really help to open up the airways and all the herbs used here are useful in treating respiratory difficulties. If you enjoy herbal teas, then this is a go-to for flavor as well as for health and wellbeing.
Pregnancy Tea
– A Girl Worth Saving
Ingredients: spearmint leaves, rosehips, nettle leaves, alfalfa, oatstraw, red raspberry leaf.

The herbs used here have various helpful qualities, from easing labor to tightening things up after baby is born. Raspberry leaf is particularly good for pregnant women as it helps to maintain uterine health both during and after birth. To get the best from this vitamin-rich tea, let it steep for ten minutes before serving.
Antioxidant Wellness Tea
– Beauty and the Foodie
Ingredients: water, lemon juice, fresh ginger, organic apple cider vinegar, ground turmeric, liquid stevia.

Anyone who has ever had a cold will know how good ginger and lemon are for helping you feel better. Drinking this tea when you first feel a cold starting can sometimes get rid of it or at least cut it a bit shorter. This recipe also tastes so good – fresh with the lemon and warming with the turmeric and ginger. This tea can also help with sore throat problems.
Iced Tea Recipes
Cold Brew Iced Tea with Lemon and Mint
– Cook Eat Paleo
Ingredients: water, tea bags, lemon slices, fresh mint sprigs, ice cubes.

Just like the cold brew coffees, this can be made hot and then chilled, but you can cold brew it overnight in the fridge. And on a lovely hot summer day, who wouldn’t enjoy a fantastic iced tea to refresh them and quench thirst? Tea has been served with lemon since the days of the Indian Raj, and is still as popular today.
Unusual Flavored Tea Recipes
Matcha Green Tea Latte
– Paleo Flourish Magazine
Ingredients: matcha powder, boiling water, coconut cream or coconut milk, sweetener to taste.
Matcha is a powdered green tea that is known for its antioxidant properties and can give this drink a freshness you may not get from regular tea. It gives a bigger caffeine hit than regular tea because you are actually consuming the tea powder. If you have never heard of or tried tea latte, then this is a perfect way to try it. Once you have blended the tea with the coconut cream you will find it even looks like a latte.
Masala Chai Tea
– Slim Palate
Ingredients: coconut milk, unsweetened and unflavored almond milk, cinnamon stick, cloves, star anise, knob ginger, cardamom pods, black tea, vanilla bean, orange peel, nutmeg.

This tea is packed with spice and diverse flavors. It has a bit of a kick, thanks to the ginger and cinnamon, and is another recipe that can be enjoyed just as well served hot or chilled over ice for a delicious long summer drink. You can store ginger in the freezer then just grate what you need rather than wasting it by buying too much.
Homemade Vanilla Chocolate Rooibos Tea
– Paleo Flourish Magazine
Ingredients: rooibos tea, 100% cacao powder, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, hot water.
With its origins in South Africa, rooibos tea has become very popular over the past few years, as it has antioxidant properties and tastes great! If you are doubtful about chocolate and tea together, why not give it a try. It gives a depth to the flavor, and the coconut helps to create a smooth taste to this refreshing drink.
Tea Recipes without Tea Leaves
Chamomile Mint Tea
– Paleo Flourish Magazine
Ingredients: chamomile flowers, peppermint leaves, hot water.
Throughout history, chamomile tea has been given to people who were not feeling so good, as it has a relaxing effect and can help you get to sleep at night. This makes it perfect for helping you to unwind after a busy or stressful day. You do not have to use peppermint in this recipe – just use your favorite mint to adapt the recipe to suit you.
Ginger Basil Tea
– Paleo Flourish Magazine
Ingredients: ginger, basil leaves, hot water.
There is something amazing about the flavor and smell you get from fresh basil that really brings your senses to life! It makes this tea fresh and full of taste and, with the subtle kick from the ginger, can warm you on a colder day or give you a boost at any time. Let the tea brew for a few minutes before serving to enhance the flavor.
Turmeric Ginger Lime Tea
– Paleo Flourish Magazine
Ingredients: lime, turmeric leaves, ginger, hot water.
Fresh turmeric is now much more available than it used to be and you will find it looks a bit like ginger root. Turmeric is known for its antioxidant qualities and has such a vivid color that it gives this drink a fabulous look as well as a fab flavor. If you are not a fan of lime then you can easily use lemon instead, and either of these go well with ginger.
