Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp instant coffee
  • 1.5 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp boiling water
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes
  • 1 tsp condensed milk

Instructions:

  1. Place 2 tbsp instant coffee, 1.5 tbsp granulated sugar, and 2 tbsp boiling water into your mixing bowl. Starting with boiling water ensures everything dissolves immediately.
  2. Start whisking the mixture slowly to incorporate the water into the solids until a dark, thin slurry forms.
  3. Whisk vigorously by hand or turn your electric mixer to medium high. You'll see the color change from dark brown to a medium tan.
  4. Continue whisking for about 3 to 5 minutes until the foam is thick and holds stiff peaks. If you lift the whisk, the foam should stay pointed up without drooping.
  5. Grab your serving glass and pour in 1 tsp condensed milk at the bottom for a sweet surprise.
  6. Drop in 1/2 cup ice cubes. This creates a 'shelf' so your foam doesn't immediately sink into the milk.
  7. Add 1 cup whole milk over the ice, leaving about two inches of space at the top of the glass.
  8. Spoon the whipped coffee foam on top of the milk. It should sit proudly on the surface.
  9. Enjoy the visual layers, but give it a gentle stir before drinking until the milk turns a creamy, pale latte color.
