Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Instant coffee granules
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Hot water
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy, as preferred)
- 4 count Ice cubes (optional, for iced version)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the instant coffee granules, granulated sugar, and hot water.
Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the mixture on high speed until it becomes light, fluffy, and forms stiff peaks (about 2-3 minutes with a mixer, or longer if whisking by hand).
Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until hot, but not boiling. Alternatively, you can foam the milk using a milk frother or steam wand for a more authentic cappuccino feel.
If making an iced version, fill a glass with ice cubes.
Pour the hot or cold milk into a serving cup, leaving some room at the top for the whipped coffee mixture.
Spoon the whipped coffee mixture on top of the milk, spreading it evenly to create a thick, creamy layer.
Serve immediately with a spoon or straw, and enjoy your homemade whipped cappuccino!
