MEXICAN HOT CHOCOLATE RECIPE

 


INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons hot water
  • Milk of your choice, to serve
  • Ice, to serve (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the instant coffee powder, sugar, and hot water. Using a hand mixer or electric whisk, beat on high speed until the mixture is thick, light, and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. To serve, divide the whipped coffee between two glasses. Top with milk of your choice and ice (if using). Stir and enjoy!



TIPS:

  • For a richer flavor, use whole milk instead of skim milk.
  • If you don't have a hand mixer or electric whisk, you can whisk the coffee mixture by hand, but it will take longer to achieve the desired consistency.
  • To make a flavored whipped coffee, add a teaspoon of your favorite extract to the coffee mixture before beating. Some popular options include vanilla extract, almond extract, and hazelnut extract.
  • You can also top your whipped coffee with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or cinnamon.

Enjoy! 😋😋
