Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Instant coffee powder
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Hot water
- 1 cup Cold milk or milk alternative
- 6 pieces Ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 teaspoons Cocoa powder or ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine instant coffee powder, granulated sugar, and hot water.
Using a handheld milk frother or a whisk, beat the mixture vigorously for 2-3 minutes until it becomes thick and frothy. The mixture should resemble a soft meringue with stiff peaks.
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes, leaving enough room for milk and the coffee foam.
Pour cold milk into the glass, filling about three-quarters of the way. Adjust based on your desired milk-to-coffee ratio.
Spoon the frothy coffee mixture over the milk and gently stir to combine if desired.
If using, top with whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Garnish with a dusting of cocoa powder or ground cinnamon for a finishing touch.
Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your homemade frothy iced coffee!
