Ingredients
4tbspRaw honey
2tbspInstant coffee granules
3tbspHot water (boiling)
1cupMilk (dairy or plant-based)
1cupIce 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
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.
Add the instant coffee granules and the boiling water to the whipped honey.
Continue whipping the mixture for about 5 minutes. You are looking for a "cloud-like" consistency with lots of bubbles and soft peaks.
Fill a tall glass with plenty of ice cubes.
Pour the milk over the ice, leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) of space at the top.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of your honey-coffee foam onto the top of the milk.
Give it a gentle stir to let the honey foam marble through the cold milk. Enjoy immediately!
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.
