Recipe Yield: 2 servings
INGREDIENTS
2 tbsp instant coffee (medium or dark roast)
2 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tbsp hot water
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, chilled or warmed)
Ice cubes (optional, for iced version)
Pinch of cocoa powder or cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Whip the coffee mixture:
In a medium mixing bowl, combine instant coffee, sugar, and hot water. Using a hand mixer, whisk, or frother, beat until the mixture becomes thick, glossy, and holds stiff peaks (about 3–5 minutes).
2. Prepare the milk base:
Fill two glasses with ice cubes if making an iced version. Pour ½ cup of milk into each glass. For a warm drink, heat the milk before pouring.
3. Top with whipped coffee:
Spoon the whipped coffee mixture evenly over the milk. Smooth gently with a spoon for a layered look, or swirl to mix if you prefer.
4. Garnish and serve:
Dust lightly with cocoa powder or cinnamon for an extra touch. Serve immediately with a spoon or straw, and stir before drinking.
Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe
- Use Instant Coffee for Best Whip: Only instant coffee works for this recipe. Ground or brewed coffee won’t achieve the thick, fluffy peaks.
- Beat Long Enough for Stiff Peaks: The key to success is whipping until glossy peaks form. Under-whipping will leave the mixture runny, while properly whipped coffee will sit tall and airy on the milk.
- Adjust Sweetness and Strength: For a stronger coffee kick, reduce the sugar slightly. For a sweeter, dessert-like treat, add an extra teaspoon of sugar or use sweetened milk.
