Ingredients
Scale
Coffee Mixture
- 3 Tbsp Instant Coffee Powder
- 3 Tbsp Granulated Sugar
- 2 Tbsp Hot Water
Serving
- 4 cups Milk (chilled)
- Ice Cubes (as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare the Coffee Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the instant coffee powder and granulated sugar. Add 2 tablespoons of hot water. Using a whisk, beat the mixture vigorously until it becomes light, fluffy, and forms stiff peaks. If the mixture is too thick, add a few drops of hot water and continue whisking to reach the desired airy consistency.
- Assemble the Drink: Fill each serving glass with ice cubes, then pour chilled milk over the ice, filling the glass up to about three-quarters full. Carefully spoon or scoop the whipped coffee mixture on top of the milk, creating a layered effect.
- Serve and Enjoy: Mix the whipped coffee into the milk before drinking to combine the rich, frothy coffee flavor with the creamy milk. Serve immediately chilled for the best taste.
Notes
- For best results, use instant coffee powder rather than ground coffee.
- Adjust sugar quantity to taste if you prefer a less sweet or stronger coffee flavor.
- Whipping the mixture by hand may take 5–10 minutes; an electric mixer can speed up the process.
- Use any type of milk based on preference, including dairy or plant-based alternatives.
- This drink is best served immediately as the whipped coffee texture can deflate over time.
