Method
Mix 1–2 tsp instant coffee, 1–2 tsp sugar, and 20 ml boiling water in a tall bowl.
Whip with a hand mixer for 3–5 minutes until light, thick, and holds its shape.
Pour cold milk3 into a glass.
Spoon the coffee foam on top.
Stir before drinking if you prefer a smoother flavor.
Tips
- Why it works
- Whisk for 3-5 minutes so the foam turns thick and holds its shape. If you stop earlier, it spreads when you add the milk. The water should be boiling so the sugar dissolves fully and the foam isn't lumpy.
- Substitutions
- Replace the sugar with 10 g of honey. The flavor will be richer, but the foam will be less stable. You can use 1.5% milk instead of 2.5%, but the foam will be less thick.
- Common mistakes
- If the foam doesn't hold and settles at once, you whisked too briefly or used ground coffee. Check the consistency after 2-3 minutes.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the fridge for no more than 1 day. Before drinking, whisk the coffee mixture again and add cold milk.
- Serve with
- Serve with cookies like Yubileynoye or Maria for an afternoon snack, when you want something sweet but not heavy.
