Ingredients

Whipped coffee

  • 2 tbsp instant coffee granules
  • 1 3/4 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp hot (just-boiled) water
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract

To assemble

  • 1/2 cup ice cubes
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Put the instant coffee and sugar into a medium mixing bowl. Add the hot water and the vanilla extract, then stir briefly to dissolve the sugar and coffee.
  • Whisk the mixture until it triples in volume and becomes glossy and thick. Use a hand mixer on medium-high for 2–4 minutes, a stand mixer with the whisk attachment for 2–3 minutes, or a handheld milk frother for 3–5 minutes. If whisking by hand, beat vigorously for about 6–8 minutes.
  • For a slightly firmer texture, chill the whipped coffee for 3–5 minutes in the fridge to let it set while you prepare the glass.
  • Fill a tall glass with the ice, then pour the milk over the ice, leaving a little headroom for the foam.
  • Spoon or dollop the whipped coffee over the milk. Use the back of the spoon to spread it into an even layer or keep it as a cloud-like scoop on top.
  • Serve immediately. Stir the whipped coffee into the milk before drinking for an even, creamy flavor, or sip layered for visual impact.

Notes

For a creamier mouthfeel, try this with whole milk or a barista-style oat milk. The whipped layer can be made ahead and chilled briefly, but it’s best used within a few hours for maximum volume.
