Ingredients

Whipped coffee

2 tbsp Instant coffee granules
2 tbsp Sugar
2 tbsp Hot water

To serve

1 ½ cups Cold whole milk
6 Ice cubes
1 pinch Cocoa powder or instant coffee, to dust

Method

Combine. Put the instant coffee, sugar and hot water in a deep bowl and stir until the sugar dissolves.
Whip. Beat with an electric hand whisk for 3 to 4 minutes (or a hand whisk for about 10 minutes) until the mixture turns pale caramel brown and holds stiff peaks, like meringue.
Fill the glasses. Drop the ice into two glasses and pour in the milk, leaving room at the top.
Top and serve. Spoon the whipped coffee generously over the milk, dust with cocoa and serve with a spoon or straw. Stir it all together before drinking.

Tips

Keep the 1:1:1 ratio and you can't go wrong. The sugar is what holds the foam, so reduced-sugar versions whip looser and collapse faster.
