INSTANT COFFEE WITH SHAKEN MILK
Ever wish you could whip up a cappuccino without all the hassle of long brews and expensive machines? Thankfully, you can easily fix yourself a cup with a variety of shortcuts! Use the Indian method of beating instant coffee granules with sugar and water before adding heated milk. Or simply shake up some heated milk in a jar and add it your already-made cup of instant brew. If that’s too much work, you can even make a readymade mix that just needs boiled water to serve.
INGREDIENTS (makes 1 serving)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
- 1 cup water (237 ml)
- Sugar to taste
- Milk to taste
Step 1: Make your coffee.
Boil 1 cup (237 ml) of water in a kettle, pot, or microwave. For the recommended measurement of instant coffee, refer to your particular brand’s directions. But generally, mix the boiled water in a mug with 1 to 2 teaspoons of coffee granules. Add your desired amount of sugar.
Depending on the size of your mug, the amount of milk you wish to addm and your own personal tastes, reduce the amout of coffee and/or water as needed.
Step 2: Heat your milk.
Pour your desired amount of milk into a microwave-safe dish or a small pot. Heat it until it reaches a boil. Remove from heat once it begins to bubble and rise.
Times may vary depending on the amount of milk used and your microwave. Generally, it should take less than a minute.
Step 3: Froth your milk.
Transfer your milk into a sealable jar or similar container. Use one large enough so that the milk only fills it halfway at most. Seat the container tightly to avoid spills and scalds. Then shake the container hard for twenty seconds, or until a froth forms.
Step 4: Add the milk to your coffee.
Pour the liquid milk into your mug. Use a spoon to stir it into your coffee. Then scoop the foamed milk out of the container and top your drink with it. Sprinkle cinnamon and/or nutmeg over the froth if desired. Then drink up!
Step 5: ENJOY IT!
