  • 3 tbsp instant coffee

Instructions

Prepare the Espresso or Coffee:

  1. Brew 1 cup of espresso using an espresso machine, French press, or standard drip coffee maker.
  2. Pour the freshly brewed coffee into your preferred cup or glass.

Heat the Milk:

  1. In a small pot over medium heat, warm 1 cup of milk, whisking continuously for 2-3 minutes until it becomes slightly foamy. (Avoid scorching the milk by stirring frequently.)
  2. Alternatively, use a milk frother to heat and froth the milk.

Make the Beaten Coffee:

  1. In a small bowl, combine instant coffee, sugar, and warm water.
  2. Using a hand-held mixer (set to medium-low speed), whip the mixture for about 5 minutes until it becomes thick, smooth, and golden brown. (You can also whisk by hand, but it will take longer.)

Assemble the Drink:

Recipe Notes:

  • Blender Choice: A stick blender creates a finer foam, while a jug blender makes it slightly frothier.
