💡 Pro Tips

  • No instant coffee? This recipe only works with instant coffee—brewed coffee won’t whip.
  • Less sweet: Reduce sugar to 1 tablespoon; it will still whip, just slightly less stable.
  • Storage: Whipped coffee can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
  • Flavor boost: Add a pinch of cocoa powder, cinnamon, or vanilla to the foam.
