Instant Coffee Espresso

Recipe #90906 | 10 min | 5 min prep | add private note

This is how I make coffee for guests We are tea drinkers and do not have too much of coffee. If I do have coffee it is South Indian filter coffee. Where a decoction is made and then mixed with hot water and sweetened milk.

SERVES 1 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons nescafe instant coffee (or depending on taste as to how strong you like your coffee)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water, plus a few drops for premixing
  • 2 teaspoons sugar (or to taste)
  • cinnamon (optional)
  • drinking cocoa powder

Directions

  1. 1
    Put the coffee powder and sugar in a coffee mug.
  2. 2
    Add a few drops of water (just enough to incorporate the coffee powder in to form a thick paste) Stir vigorously with a spoon and soon you will see that the coffe and sugar form a whitish shiny paste.
  3. 3
    Boil the milk and water together.
  4. 4
    (if you do not like milky coffee you can boil plain water (1 cup) and add a few drops of milk just to your taste straight into the mug) Pour this from a little height into the mug so that the coffee froths up.
  5. 5
    Sprinkle a little drinking chocolate on top for effect.
  6. 6
    You can sprinkle some cinnamon powder on top too if you like the flavour of cinnamon.

    Nice way to improve the flavor of instant coffee. Very quick and easy. I thought it tasted just as good if not better than the flavored instant coffee you buy. Thanks Fay Almeida. Bullwinkle.

    As a confirmed coffee drinker, I highly recommend this! I added the cinnamon & hot chocolate mix at the first step; however, I omitted the sugar completely as I don't use it in my regular coffee. Thanx for another good one Fay!
