Ingredients
  

  • 4 tbsp Raw honey
  • 2 tbsp Instant coffee granules
  • 3 tbsp Hot water (boiling)
  • 1 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 cup Ice cubes

Equipment

  • Electric Hand Mixer or Milk Frother: To achieve that thick, stable foam without the arm workout.
  • Medium Mixing Bowl: To give the foam plenty of room to expand as you whip.
  • Tall Glass: For that beautiful layered presentation.
  • Small Whisk: For the final stir if you prefer your foam mixed into the milk.

Method
 

  1. Place the honey in a medium bowl. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the honey until its color lightens and it becomes thick and airy.

Notes

For extra froth, whip the honey and coffee mixture for a full 3–4 minutes until pale and thick before adding to milk — the longer you whip, the fluffier the texture becomes.
