Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons instant coffee
-
2 tablespoons sugar
-
2 tablespoons hot water
-
Milk (any kind, hot or cold)
(Pro tip: Always use instant coffee, not brewed coffee, for best froth.)
Instructions
1. Whip the Coffee
-
Combine the instant coffee, sugar, and hot water in a bowl.
-
Use a hand whisk, electric mixer, or even a fork (takes longer) to whip until the mixture becomes thick, fluffy, and light brown. This usually takes 3–5 minutes with a mixer and up to 10+ minutes by hand.
2. Prepare the Milk
-
Fill a glass 3/4 full with milk. Add ice if you want an iced version.
3. Top the Milk
-
Spoon the whipped coffee mixture on top of the milk.
-
Optional: Sprinkle cocoa, cinnamon, or chocolate shavings for extra flair.
4. Drink
-
Stir before drinking or sip through the frothy layer—both ways are delicious!
Tips & Tricks
-
Sweetness: Adjust sugar to taste; less sugar = less stiff foam.
-
Vegan version: Use plant-based milk (oat, almond, soy).
-
Variations: You can flavor it with vanilla extract, caramel syrup, or cocoa powder before whipping.
✅ Fun fact: The texture comes from air whipped into the coffee + sugar mixture, creating a foam that sits on top of milk. It’s basically a homemade coffee mousse!
If you want, I can also give a “quick 1-minute hack” to make whipped coffee without a whisk or mixer—it’s perfect if you don’t want to spend 5–10 minutes whipping by hand. Do you want me to show that?
