Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsps instant coffee
- 200–250 ml (6.8–8.5 fl oz) milk or milk alternative
- 2 tbsps granulated sugar
- 2 tbsps boiling water
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Whip Base: In a medium bowl, combine instant coffee, granulated sugar, and steaming hot water, whisking rapidly to transform the mixture into a pale, voluminous foam with an airy, cloud-like consistency.
- Texture Development: Continue aggressively beating the mixture with a handheld mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form, creating a luxurious coffee cream that holds its shape dramatically.
- Glass Preparation: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes, covering approximately two-thirds of the vessel’s volume, then gently cascade cold milk over the ice, leaving a small space at the top for the coffee foam.
- Final Composition: Delicately spoon the whipped coffee mixture onto the milk’s surface, using a swirling technique to create an elegant, soft-peaked topping that resembles artisan ice cream.
- Serving Technique: Present the beverage immediately, providing a long spoon for the drinker to blend the layers, transforming the stratified drink into a harmonious, rich coffee experience.
Notes
- Instant Coffee Matters: Choose high-quality instant coffee for the best flavor and optimal foam consistency.
- Whisking Technique: Use an electric mixer for faster, more consistent peaks and to prevent arm fatigue during manual whisking.
- Temperature Precision: Hot water is crucial for dissolving sugar and creating the signature smooth, glossy texture.
- Serving Suggestion: Consume immediately after preparation to enjoy the perfect frothy texture and temperature contrast.
