Gather Ingredients You’ll need instant coffee, sugar, hot water, and milk. Use equal parts coffee, sugar, and hot water (typically 2 tablespoons each).
Add to a Bowl In a medium bowl, combine instant coffee, sugar, and hot water. Use a deep bowl to avoid splashes during whipping.
Whip Until Frothy Using a hand whisk or electric mixer, beat the mixture for 2–4 minutes until it becomes thick, glossy, and holds soft peaks.
Prepare the Milk Pour cold or warm milk into a glass, filling it about 3/4 of the way. Add ice if you want it chilled.
Spoon on the Foam Carefully spoon the whipped coffee mixture on top of the milk, creating a layered, two-tone look. Don’t mix it yet!
Garnish if Desired Top with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, cinnamon, or crushed cookies for extra flavor and visual appeal.
Serve with a Spoon or Straw Serve immediately with a long spoon or straw to stir before sipping. The foam slowly melts into the milk as you drink.
Stir and Enjoy Stir the whipped coffee into the milk until blended, or take sips through the foam. It’s strong, sweet, and deliciously creamy.
