Ingredients
Whipped Coffee
- 2 teaspoons instant soluble coffee
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons water
To Serve
- 1 cup hot milk or plant-based drink
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the instant coffee, granulated sugar, and water in a mixing bowl.
- Whisk Mixture: Using an electric mixer or milk frother, whisk the ingredients at high speed for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture becomes a smooth and firm coffee foam.
- Prepare Serving: Pour hot milk or your preferred plant-based drink into a cup.
- Top and Serve: Spoon the whipped coffee foam over the hot milk and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use instant coffee for best frothing results; ground coffee will not work.
- Adjust sugar to taste for a sweeter or less sweet foam.
- For a cold version, use cold milk and serve over ice.
- The foam can be made manually with a whisk, but it will take longer than using an electric mixer.
- Plant-based milks like almond, oat, or soy can be used as dairy alternatives.
