Ingredients
Scale
For the Coffee Foam:
- 2 teaspoons instant coffee (Nescafé Classic preferred)
- 2–3 teaspoons granulated sugar (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons cold water
For Serving:
- 1 cup cold water or milk (or a mix of both)
- Ice cubes
- Evaporated milk or cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Create the Coffee Foam: In a shaker, jar with a lid, or using a handheld milk frother, combine the instant coffee, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of cold water. Shake or froth vigorously for 20–30 seconds until a thick, foamy layer forms.
- Prepare the Drink: Pour the foam into a tall glass. Add a few ice cubes and top with cold water, milk, or a mixture of both to fill the glass. Stir gently to combine.
- Optional Topping: Add a splash of evaporated milk or cream on top if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
Notes
- Customize sweetness by adjusting the sugar: *Sketos* (no sugar), *metrios* (1–2 tsp), or *glykos* (2–3 tsp).
- You can also use flavored syrups or plant-based milk alternatives for a twist.
