Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee see notes
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 3 tablespoons boiling water see notes
  • 1/2 cup non-dairy milk see notes

Instructions

  • In a small mixing bowl, add instant coffee and coconut sugar. Pour in 3 tablespoons of boiling water and stir everything together.
  • Using either a manual whisk, handheld frother or electric mixer, whisk everything together for 2-3 minutes until the color turns a golden brown and the mixture thickens up quite a bit.
  • You can alternatively do this in the bowl of a stand mixer or in a medium bowl with an electric mixer.
  • If you'd like the coffee mixture to quickly melt into the milk, stop whisking/whipping once you see trails in the coffee mixture.
  • If you'd like a thicker coffee, only add 2 tablespoons of hot water and whisk/mix for an extra 1-2 minutes.
  • Fill a glass with a handful of ice cubes. Pour in 1/2 cup of non-dairy milk.
  • Add whipped coffee on top and give everything a nice and aggressive stir until well incorporated.

Notes

  • This will make (3) small servings because 2 tablespoons of instant coffee is equivalent to roughly 6 cups of coffee.
  • You can use Four Sigmatic mushroom coffee mix as well. Instead of 2 tablespoons, use 1.5 tablespoons of this mix.
  • Refined sugar can be substituted for coconut sugar, and the end result will be a bit sweeter.
  • This can be stored in the refrigerator overnight in an airtight container.
  • 1/2 cup of non-dairy milk is 1-2 servings. If you are splitting this, I'd start by using 1/2 cup of milk, stirring and tasting/adjusting.
