Whipped coffee has become popular over the past two years. The process behind it is whisking instant coffee with the help of an electric whisk or milk frother. If you do not have an electric appliance, you can use a regular hand whisk, but the task is a little tedious and takes more time.
You can drink whipped coffee either hot or cold. Dalgona coffees are usually served chilled and enjoyed during the hot summers. It is monsoon season over here and the weather is wet and cold. A good cup of hot coffee and a beautiful view of the rain is a must during the rainy season. The star ingredient of this recipe is instant coffee powder and we are aerating the coffee to form a thick foamy texture, like whipped cream. If you ask me about the taste, it tastes like normal instant coffee. But, it is the foamy texture that makes this coffee stand out from the rest.
Things to note for a perfect whipped coffee:
Strength of the coffee: The strength of the coffee can be adjusted to your liking. I like my coffee strong and love that bitter kick. If you prefer a lesser strength, do reduce the quantity of coffee powder or add more milk.
Whisk: Please use an electric whisk or milk frother. Trust me, using a hand whisk require more time and effort and will not be a pleasant experience.
Milk: I'm using regular milk in this recipe. You can use plant-based milk for a vegan version.
Whipped Vanilla Coffee Serves: 1
Ingredients:
Instant coffee powder - 1 tbsp.
Sugar - 1 tbsp.
Hot water - 1 tbsp.
Hot Milk - 3/4 cup
Vanilla extract - 1/4 tsp.
Method:
Take a coffee mug and add coffee powder, sugar, vanilla extract, and water. Using a milk frother, whisk the coffee for 3 -5 minutes or until the coffee is thick and foamy. The foam must be thick and have a soft peak consistency, not runny.
Now pour in 3/4 cup of hot milk, and you'll see that the foam is rising to the top.
Dust a little bit of coffee powder on top. Gently stir the coffee and enjoy it right away.
