Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 3/4 cup cold milk (whole, almond, oat, soy, or preferred milk)
- Ice cubes (optional)
- Pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder (optional for garnish or flavor twist)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons instant coffee powder, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons hot water.
- Whip the mixture vigorously using an electric mixer for 3-5 minutes or by hand with a balloon whisk for 10-12 minutes until stiff peaks form and the foam is thick and glossy.
- Fill a glass or mug about 3/4 full with cold milk. Add ice cubes if desired.
- Spoon the whipped coffee foam on top of the milk, creating a thick layer.
- Serve immediately. Stir gently before drinking or sip with the foam on top for a creamy, velvety texture.
Notes
Use instant coffee powder for best foam. Granulated sugar stabilizes the foam; reducing sugar may make foam less stable. Cold bowls and beaters help achieve better foam. For dairy-free, use almond, oat, or soy milk. Foam is best served immediately but can hold shape for 15-20 minutes. Re-whisk foam gently if stored. Avoid brewed coffee as it won’t whip.
