First you’re going to put your instant coffee, granulated sugar and water into a large bowl like you see here. Using a hand mixer (easiest way to do it) whip it until it is fluffy just like this! It will have the appearance of almost like a meringue or whipped cream texture.

• This recipe will make 2 cups full, or mason jars full so get those ready!
• Use any type of vessel you like but these are fun and a good size to fit all the yum.

We showed you How to Make Cold Foam for Coffee in the past but this is something beyond that. Frothier, fluffier almost like whipped cream but with a coffee flavor.
