Coffee fedi, help me out!

I'm getting more and more milk/lactose intolerant as I get older, but lactose free milk is too sweet for me.

I don't sweeten my coffee, and even lactose free milk with no sweetener else makes my coffee too sweet.

So, what do I replace my milk with when I order coffee?

Nothing? Or alternatively a single mocha shot?

But really I think the best thing would be to switch to cold brew dilute with a little water and ice and nothing more.

Nothing isn't going to happen. I've tried and tried to enjoy it over the years, but it lacks "body" or something...

Try a few(!, as in, 3-5 single grains) of salt to reduce acidity. For body you could try French press or mesh filtered, gets more chewy mouthfeel but that's a coin flip if you might like it or not.
