Whipped Coffee
A light, fluffy coffee foam made with just three ingredients, served over milk for a deliciously creamy and sweet treat.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp instant coffee
- 2 tbsp sugar (granulated or brown)
- 2 tbsp hot water
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- Ice (optional)
Instructions
- Measure Out Your Ingredients:The key to perfectly whipped coffee is the 1:1:1 ratio of instant coffee, sugar, and hot water. Use equal parts of all three, typically 2 tablespoons of each for two servings. Adjust based on how many cups you plan to make.
- Whisk:Add the instant coffee, sugar, and hot water to a mixing bowl. You can whisk by hand using a balloon whisk, but be prepared—it can take 5-8 minutes to achieve stiff peaks. If you want to speed things up, use a handheld electric mixer or a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Beat the mixture on medium-high speed until it becomes thick and glossy, with firm peaks forming when you lift the whisk.
- Prepare Your Milk:While you're whipping the coffee mixture, prepare your milk. If you're making iced whipped coffee, fill a glass with ice and cold milk. For a hot version, warm the milk gently on the stove or in the microwave.
- Top and Serve:Spoon the whipped coffee over your milk. You can leave the foam floating on top for a layered look or stir it into the milk for a creamier coffee drink.
