Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Whipped Coffee
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee: This is essential for achieving the signature frothy texture. Espresso powder can work too.
- 2 tablespoons hot water: Helps dissolve the coffee and sugar, making it easier to whip. Avoid boiling water; hot tap water is ideal.
- 2 tablespoons sugar: White sugar works best, but brown sugar or sugar substitutes are great alternatives for different flavors or dietary needs.
For Serving
- Milk of your choice: Dairy or non-dairy options like almond, oat, or soy milk all pair beautifully with whipped coffee.
- Ice (optional): Add for a refreshing twist, especially on warmer days.
Optional Toppings
- Cocoa powder or cinnamon: A sprinkle on top adds flavor and enhances the presentation.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
Start by assembling all your ingredients to make the process smooth and efficient.
Step 2: Whip the Coffee Mixture
In a medium bowl, combine the instant coffee, hot water, and sugar. Using a whisk, hand mixer, or frother, whip the mixture for about 3–5 minutes until it’s light and fluffy with soft peaks.
Step 3: Prepare Your Milk
While whipping the coffee, prepare your milk.
- For hot coffee: Warm the milk on the stove or in the microwave.
- For iced coffee: Fill a glass with your choice of milk and ice cubes.
Step 4: Assemble the Whipped Coffee
Spoon the whipped coffee mixture over the prepared milk. If you’re feeling fancy, use a piping bag for extra precision!
Step 5: Add Toppings and Enjoy
Finish with a dusting of cocoa powder, cinnamon, or even grated chocolate. Stir the whipped coffee into the milk before sipping to enjoy its full-bodied flavor.
Tips for Perfect Whipped Coffee
Serving Variations
- Add a splash of vanilla extract to the whipped coffee mixture for a hint of sweetness.
- Sprinkle nutmeg or a touch of caramel syrup for extra indulgence.
Storage
- While whipped coffee is best enjoyed fresh, you can store leftover coffee foam in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Whip it again briefly before serving.
Dairy-Free Options
- Coconut milk adds creaminess, while almond milk lends a subtle nutty flavor.
