This course examines the plant based drinks and their interaction with coffee. We have added a new module, exploring finding the best plant based drink option for your coffee. The course covers:

1. What are plant based drinks and their features?
2. What are the sensory qualities of plant based drinks when paired with coffee and their sustainability values?
3. What are the nutritional values, risks from allergens, intolerances and cross-contamination?
4. What are the physical and chemical properties of plant based drinks that allow them to be heated and create foam?
5. NEW: Practical guide to finding the best plant based drink for your coffee. This can be applied to competitions where plant based drinks are now allowed in the milk beverage. It is also applicable to finding the best plant based option for your cafe.

Throughout the course, examples of different drink recipes are given. These can be applied across different food service outlets and also at home.

The course is based on independent research, and industry experience from the University of Camerino, Alpro, Damian Burgess, Merijn Gijsbers.
