How Do I Make Whipped Coffee?
If you’re ready to try your hand at making this trendy coffee beverage, the good news is that it’s incredibly easy to whip up (literally!). All you need are a few simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. All you need is instant coffee, sugar, hot water, and milk. To make the whipped coffee, you start by combining equal parts of instant coffee, sugar, and hot water in a mixing bowl.
Then, using either a hand mixer or a regular whisk, whip the mixture together until it becomes light and frothy. I must forewarn you, be prepared to put in a bit of elbow grease if you’re using a whisk, as it can take up to 10 minutes to achieve the desired consistency. Alternatively, using a hand mixer will significantly cut down on the time and effort required. Once you’ve achieved the perfect whipped texture, simply pour it over a glass of milk and stir to combine. Voila! You now have a delicious and Instagram-worthy whipped coffee beverage.
How Does The Coffee Become “Whipped”?
The magic behind whipped coffee lies in the process of whipping the coffee mixture. By vigorously mixing the instant coffee, sugar, and hot water together, you’re actually incorporating air into the mixture. This process of whipping allows the air to get trapped in the coffee and sugar, creating a light and frothy texture. (This process is similar to how you would prepare an egg-white foam for an angel food cake or for meringue cookies.)
As you continue to mix, the sugar also dissolves into the hot water, creating a syrup-like consistency that helps hold the air bubbles in place. The result is a beautiful foam that sits on top of your milk, creating a layered and visually stunning drink. So next time you make whipped coffee, take a moment to appreciate the science behind it and enjoy the delicious result of your efforts!
Recipe Variations
While the classic whipped coffee recipe typically calls for regular milk, there are many variations you can try if you’re looking to switch things up. If you prefer to use a dairy-free milk, that is completely fine! Options such as soy milk, almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk are great alternatives. Not only do they offer a unique flavor profile, but they also provide a creamy and delicious base for the whipped coffee.
You can also experiment with different flavors by adding in a dash of cinnamon, vanilla extract, or cocoa powder to your whipped coffee mixture. I usually use almond milk as my base and then sprinkle cinnamon over it. I have even seen posts where people have added sprinkles or cacao nibs on top. The possibilities are endless, so don’t be afraid to get creative and try out different combinations to find your perfect cup of whipped coffee.
