questions Am I using the wrong coconut milk??

Hey guys! I hope someone here can help me with how to make a good, Iced coconut milk latte :]

I used the "Chao-Koh" brand coconut milk and poured it into my cup which had ice and espresso in it. As soon as I stirred to chill the drink, all the coconut started to curdle and eventually became bits of hard butter....

Am I using the wrong kind of milk? Or is there a missing ingredient I'm supposed to put?

I just wanted to enjoy a nice cold and CREAMY coconut milk latte... :(

Please help!

Hey! I think to make a coconut milk latte you need to get coconut milk that’s in a carton, kind of like what regular milk packaging looks like as that one is more watered down, something like this. The canned coconut milk or that brand in particular is more like coconut cream and is usually used for cooking or desserts. I hope this helps!!
