Shaking Milk to Make a Froth
Make your coffee. Boil 1 cup (237 ml) of water in a kettle, pot, or microwave. For the recommended measurement of instant coffee, refer to your particular brand’s directions. But generally, mix the boiled water in a mug with 1 to 2 teaspoons of coffee granules. Add your desired amount of sugar. Depending on the size of your mug, the amount of milk you wish to add, and your own personal tastes, reduce the amount of coffee and/or water as needed.
Heat your milk. Pour your desired amount of milk into a microwave-safe dish or a small pot. Heat it until it reaches a boil. Remove from heat once it begins to bubble and rise. Times may vary depending on the amount of milk used and your microwave. Generally, it should take less than a minute.
Froth your milk. Transfer your milk into a sealable jar or similar container. Use one large enough so that the milk only fills it halfway at most. Seal the container tightly to avoid spills and scalds. Then shake the container hard for twenty seconds or until a froth forms.
Add the milk to your coffee. Pour the liquid milk into your mug. Use a spoon to stir it into your coffee. Then scoop the foamed milk out of the container and top your drink with it. Sprinkle cinnamon and/or nutmeg over the froth if desired. Then drink up!
Making Indian Cappuccino
Make your coffee mix. While the milk heats, make your mix. Combine 1.5 teaspoons of instant coffee with ¾ to 1 tablespoon of sugar in a coffee mug. Then add ½ to a ¾ teaspoon of water. Beat the mix with a spoon for about five minutes, until it turns light brown. If you have instant espresso, try substituting a ½ teaspoon of the regular coffee with a ½ teaspoon of espresso.
Heat the milk. Pour 1 cup (237 ml) of milk into a pot. Set the pot on a burner. Turn the burner to medium-high. Wait for it to bubble and rise. Alternately, use a microwave. If you do, keep an eye on it and remove the milk as soon as it reaches a boil.
Add the heated milk. Pour it into your cup. Then stir to mix and work up a froth. Sprinkle some coffee granules over the froth if desired, and enjoy!
Using a Premade Mix and Water
Make your mix. Use a medium-sized mixing bowl. Or, to reduce the number of dishes to wash later, simply add and combine the ingredients directly in a sealable container. Stir the following together: 1 cup powdered non-dairy creamer (86 g) 1 cup instant chocolate drink mix (86 g) ¾ cup instant coffee granules (65 g) ½ cup sugar (100 g) ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Store until needed. Seal the container to keep pests out once you’re finished. Store where desired. There is no need to refrigerate it.
Make a cup. For each serving, add 2 tablespoons of your mix to a mug. Boil ¾ cup of water in a kettle, pot, or microwave. Pour the boiled water into the mug. Stir well to mix.
