Description
A viral TikTok-inspired drink featuring fluffy, whipped instant coffee foam served over cold vanilla milk. It’s a budget-friendly, customizable treat that takes just five minutes to make.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee (granulated preferred)
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 1 cup cold milk (dairy or plant-based like oat or almond)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice cubes (optional)
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Cocoa powder or cinnamon (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine instant coffee and white sugar. Stir briefly to combine.
- Pour in hot water and stir until the granules are fully dissolved into a liquid.
- Using a hand whisk or electric mixer, whip the coffee mixture vigorously until it doubles or triples in volume, turns light golden-brown, and forms stiff peaks (2-4 minutes with electric mixer, 5-7 minutes with hand whisk).
- While whipping, fill a tall glass with cold milk and stir in vanilla extract.
- Add ice cubes to the glass if desired.
- Spoon the whipped coffee foam gently on top of the cold milk to create layers, or stir it in for a mixed drink.
- Serve immediately while the foam is still fluffy.
Notes
Do not use brewed or ground coffee; instant coffee is essential for the foam texture. Ensure the bowl and whisk are clean and dry for best whipping results. The foam can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 hours, but the drink is best served immediately. Adjust sugar to taste, though reducing it may affect the foam’s stability.
