Fancy Instructions

  • Combine instant coffee, sugar and boiling water in a bowl and whisk with an electric mixer until frothy and whipped, like whipped cream.
    Pour milk over ice cubes into a mug.
    Spoon the coffee mixture over your milk.
    (Place it in the perfect setting in your perfect home and take an Instagram picture. Don't drink it; it's too pretty.)

Kendra's Good Enough Instructions

  • In the bottom of a mug, combine instant coffee, sugar, and boiling water. Whisk it together with a cheap electric milk frother for 1-2 minutes until you get tired of holding it. It won't be perfect, but it will be light-colored and thickened. That's good enough!
    Pour milk into the mug.
    (If you must take a picture for your blog, push everything off the coffee table. Take a picture. Realize that there is trash on the floor under the coffee table that you can see in the picture. Pick that up and then take the picture again. Good enough! Drink up!)
