Ingredients

½ cup instant coffee powder
½ cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons warm water not hot water
milk as required

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Add coffee powder, sugar, and water to a medium mixing bowl.
Beat the coffee and sugar with a handheld blender at high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. The mixture should form soft peaks, and the texture should resemble whipped cream.
It takes about 2-3 minutes of beating for the coffee to reach this stage.
Store the beaten coffee in the refrigerator for up to a week and use it as needed. This mixture will make 6-8 cups of Indian cappuccino.
To make the cappuccino, heat 1 cup of milk in a pan over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil.
Add 1 tablespoon of beaten coffee mixture to a serving cup.
Pour the boiling hot milk over it from a little distance and then mix with a spoon.
Add more sugar if required.
Sprinkle some coffee powder on top and serve immediately.

Notes

To make this style of coffee, use ONLY instant coffee powder. Ground coffee will not work in this recipe.

You can make this coffee with all milk or a mix of milk and water if you don't like it too milky.

If you like flavored coffee, add cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin spice, or any other spice blend you like.

To make the mixing easier, add a few tablespoon of milk to the cup and mix the coffee mixture well. Then, top the cup with the remaining milk.

If you are beating a small amount of coffee, use a milk frother.

You can also use a mixer grinder to whisk the coffee.
