Ingredients: 2 tbsp instant coffee, 2 tbsp sugar, 2 tbsp hot water, milk (dairy or plant-based), ice cubes.
Step 1: Combine instant coffee, sugar, and hot water in a bowl. Using a hand mixer, electric whisk, or even a regular whisk, beat vigorously until the mixture becomes pale brown, thick, and creamy — like whipped cream.
Step 2: If using a hand whisk, this takes about 5–10 minutes. With an electric mixer, just 2–3 minutes. The mixture is ready when it holds stiff peaks.
