Steps To Make Whipped Coffee Without Instant Coffee
It’s really easy to make whipped coffee at home, even when you don’t have instant coffee.
Here are the steps to follow.
1. Combine the sugar and espresso.
In the mixing bowl, add your table sugar and the piping hot espresso.
Give it a good stir to mix the two well.
2. Whip the sugar and espresso mixture.
Using your hand mixer, whip the espresso and sugar mixture on a low speed.
You’ll know that you’re done when you start to see small peaks in the mixture.
And yes, this will take you a few minutes.
Set this aside when done.
3. Put milk in the glass.
Now, take your glass and pour in the cold milk.
4. Add the whipped mixture to the glass.
Using the spoon, add the whipped espresso and sugar mixture to your glass of cold milk.
Just spoon dollops of it on top of the milk and enjoy!
Keep in mind that once you add the whipped mixture to the cold milk, that it won’t maintain it’s whipped structure forever.
So, start drinking it immediately.

One thing to keep in mind is that Stevia-based sweeteners do not work as well at other sugar alternatives for whipped coffee.
