Step 1
Pour 2 tablespoons instant coffee, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 2 tablespoons hot water into a medium mixing bowl.
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.
Step 3
Fill two glasses halfway with cold milk, using 1/2 cup per glass.
Step 4
Divide the whipped coffee mixture between the two glasses, spooning it on top of the milk in a thick layer.
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.
