Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Instant coffee
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Boiling water
- 1 cup Milk of choice
- Optional: Pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
1. Combine: In a mixing bowl, combine instant coffee, granulated sugar, and boiling water.
2. Whip: Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed, whip for about 2 minutes. The mixture will lighten in color, increase in volume, and form stiff peaks.
3. Prepare Glass: Fill a tall glass with ice and your choice of milk (or use warm milk for a hot version).
4. Assemble: Spoon the fluffy whipped coffee mixture on top of the milk.
5. Serve: Stir vigorously before drinking to combine the coffee foam with the milk.
Notes
- Coffee Type: You MUST use instant coffee. Ground coffee will not dissolve or whip into foam.
- Whipping Time: Whip for the full 2 minutes; under-whipping prevents the foam from holding its shape.
- Manual Method: If you don’t have an electric mixer, you can use a whisk, but it will take 8-10 minutes of vigorous effort.
- Storage: The whipped coffee mixture can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 days; re-whip slightly if it deflates.
- Customization: Add cocoa powder for a mocha flavor or spices like cardamom/nutmeg for aromatic variations.
