Preparazione

1. 1

   --- Make Beaten Coffee Mixture: ---

2. 2

   In a large cup or a mixing bowl, add 3 tablespoons instant coffee powder, 3 tablespoons sugar, and 1-2 tablespoons hot water. The coffee and sugar ratio should be 1:1 ratio.

3. 3

   Using a wired whisk or electric mixer, whip the coffee mixture until it is light brown and fluffy. It should hold soft peaks when you remove the whisk. (This would take about 5 minutes if using a milk frother.) The beaten coffee mixture is ready. Keep it aside.

   Now in a saucepan, heat the milk on medium heat. Do not boil the milk, you only need to steam the milk.

   Pour the hot milk into a clean heat-resistant bottle or coffee flask.
