Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pour 2 tablespoons instant coffee, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 2 tablespoons hot water into a medium mixing bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Using an electric hand mixer or whisk, beat the mixture on medium-high speed for 2–3 minutes until it transforms into a thick, pale, fluffy mousse with stiff peaks, like frosting.

  3. Step 3

    Fill two glasses halfway with cold milk, using 1/2 cup per glass.

  4. Step 4

    Divide the whipped coffee mixture between the two glasses, spooning it on top of the milk in a thick layer.

  5. Step 5

    Stir well before drinking to mix the fluffy coffee with the cold milk, or sip the foam first and then drink the sweetened coffee milk below.
