It takes less than 10 minutes to make and requires only three core ingredients which you may already have at home: sugar, instant coffee powder and milk.
Here's how:
- Mix the sugar and instant coffee powder with hot water in the ratio of 1:1:1
- Use a hand mixer on high speed and whip the mixture for about five minutes, until it turns into a thick consistency with a golden caramel hue
- Pour milk into a cup with ice till it's about 3/4 full
- Scoop the mixture into the cup of milk
Really simple, isn't it? Check out the video below to get a clearer view on how to make this drink:
However, if you don't have a hand mixer, a fork will do the trick too but you will have to whisk it about 400 times to achieve the same consistency. ?
This drink is all over social media and since it's so easy to make, why not make one while you are at home to get your daily coffee fix?
