Ice cubes (optional, for iced coffee)

Cocoa powder or cinnamon (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Whipping Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of instant coffee, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of hot water.

    Whip it Up: Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture vigorously for about 2-4 minutes until it becomes thick, creamy, and forms soft peaks. If you’re using a whisk, be prepared for an arm workout!

      Prepare the Glass: While you whip the coffee, take a glass and fill it halfway with milk. If you prefer an iced version, add a few ice cubes to the milk.

        Layer it Right: Spoon the whipped coffee mixture on top of the milk. Use a spatula for easy transfer and to make it look aesthetically pleasing.

          Garnish and Serve: For an extra touch, sprinkle a bit of cocoa powder or cinnamon on top of your whipped coffee. Stir the layers together before sipping to combine the rich, creamy coffee with the milk below, and enjoy!
