When I first saw a picture of this I knew I had to make it. It looked so creamy and luscious and beautiful, I stopped everything I was doing to make one. I am in love and it brings excitement to my quarantined mornings. AND it is only 3 basic ingredients – milk, sugar and instant coffee/espresso (plus water). And because the ratio of ingredients is 1:1 you can remember it easily (1 tbsp hot/boiling water: 1btsp instant coffee:1tbsp sugar).
Whip all that up using a hand mixer or with a whisk and just spoon over milk and ice. You can use any amount of milk and leave out the ice if you want.
The instant coffee is a must because it is the crystals that allow it become whipped and frothy. I like to whip by hand, it just takes a few minutes of some solid whipping and maybe some muscle burn hey you’re getting some exercise in too! You know it is done when it becomes light in color and looks like it will hold its shape when you spoon it over the milk.
You can try different variations – chocolate milk, milk with Kahlua, cinnamon, chocolate chips, chocolate syrup and any type of milk will work (almond, oat etc..).
I like to mix it all together to drink but leave the layers separate if you prefer.
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp instant coffee or espresso
- 1 tbsp hot/boiling water
- Milk/ice
- Mix sugar and instant coffee in a bowl. Add in the hot water. Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip until it becomes fluffy and frothy. Spoon over ice and milk.
