Cereal milk lovers can look forward to sipping the new Dunkin' Cereal Nā Milk Latte this fall, a sweet, nostalgic combination of cereal milk and espresso that's said to taste lile childhood, grown up. This mashup of flavors from cereal and coffee culture is said to result in a creamy, marshmallow-cereal flavor, and it's ready to enjoy hot or iced.
This new Dunkin' drink builds on the success of the Dunkalatte, and promises a fresh experience of the coveted bottom-of-the-bowl taste of milk that has absorbed all the sweetness of breakfast cereal.
The Cereal Nā Milk Latte inspired an entire limited-edition merch collection, which includes a crewneck, a graphic t-shirt, and a trucker hat with throwback designs depicting bowls, spoons and cartons of milk.
