Tips for Making Whipped Coffee
There are two factors that contribute to a delicious whipped coffee: Sugar and the whipping process. Here’s what to keep in mind:
Whipping the coffee: Begin at medium speed to create frothing, then gradually increase to high speed to achieve maximum volume and medium stiff peaks. Lastly, switch to low speed for a few seconds to stabilize the foam. The foam should be able to stand up firmly to a curl at its tip. Be patient as it takes time to whip the coffee properly —and I promise, it will be worth it!
Sugar: This helps thicken the coffee so that it becomes a stable foam that doesn’t easily deflate when it’s whipped.
Coffee: For the best results, use unsweetened instant black coffee powder, or for a higher-caffeinated drink, you can also use instant espresso powder.
