Hot Coffee | Beaten Coffee (Cafe Style)

Ingredients

  • 1.5 teaspoons instant coffee – nescafe or your preferred brand
  • 1.5 tablespoons sugar or add as per taste
  • 3 tablespoons water – hot
  • 1 cup milk

Instructions 

  • In a cup add the instant coffee and sugar.
  • Add 3 tablespoons hot boiling water.
  • First mix the coffee and sugar with water and begin to stir briskly and beat coffee with a spoon for 3 to 4 minutes. 
  • Beat the coffee till its color lightens and you see a frothy layer on top.
  • Then take 1 cup milk in a small but heavy sauce pan and on a medium to medium-high heat boil it.
  • When the milk comes to boil pour the milk in a glass jar or a thermos flask.
  • Do not use any plastic bottle or jar. You can use a steel bottle also. A glass jar with a handle helps while shaking as the milk is hot.
  • Now shake the jar vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes. Alternatively to get the froth on milk, you can also use a handheld frother. Milk can be blended in a blender also.
  • There should be a nice layer of frothy foam on the milk.
  • Pour the foamy milk in the cup containing coffee.
  • After adding ⅓ or ½ of the milk to the coffee, stir with a spoon. You can even swirl the cup gently so that the milk get mixed with the coffee.
  • Then pour remaining milk together with the frothy layer. 
  • Serve cafe style coffee straightway.
  • You can even sprinkle some ground cinnamon powder or cocoa powder on top. Enjoy this homemade cafe style coffee. 

Notes

  • The instant coffee can be in powdered form or granular. I have used Nescafé in the recipe, but you can add your favorite brand of instant coffee. 
  • For a lighter version of this drink, add a bit more hot water. 
  • If you prefer, you can opt not to add milk and only add hot water. 
  • Sweeteners can be of your choice. 
  • This recipe is for 1 serving, but you could scale it easily.
