Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee
- 200–250 milliliters (6.8–8.5 fluid ounces) milk or milk alternative
Coffee Preparation Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons boiling water
Serving Ingredient:
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together instant coffee, granulated sugar, and steaming hot water until the mixture becomes pale and volumized.
- Continue whisking vigorously with a handheld mixer or electric whisk for 3-5 minutes, creating a glossy, cloud-like texture that forms stiff peaks when the whisk is lifted.
- Fill a tall glass with ice cubes, ensuring they cover approximately two-thirds of the glass volume.
- Gently pour cold milk over the ice, leaving enough space at the top for the whipped coffee mixture.
- Using a spatula or spoon, carefully transfer the whipped coffee foam onto the milk surface, creating an elegant layered effect.
- For an artistic presentation, use a swirling motion while adding the coffee foam to create a soft, ice cream-like peak that sits beautifully atop the milk.
- Serve immediately with a long spoon, allowing the drinker to stir and blend the layers for a delightful coffee experience.
Notes
- Whip coffee mixture vigorously until it forms stiff, cloud-like peaks resembling soft-serve ice cream.
- Use equal parts instant coffee, sugar, and hot water for the perfect whipped texture.
- Serve over cold milk with ice for a refreshing, Instagram-worthy drink.
- Best enjoyed immediately after whipping to maintain the fluffy, creamy consistency.
- Electric mixer works faster and creates smoother peaks compared to manual whisking.
- Experiment with alternative milks like almond or oat for unique flavor variations.
