Instructions

- Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the mixture vigorously until it becomes thick and frothy, about 2-3 minutes. The foam should resemble whipped cream.

- Spoon the whipped coffee foam generously on top of the milk, creating a beautiful layered effect.
- Top with a dollop of whipped cream for added richness and elegance.
- Dust the foam with cocoa powder for an extra burst of flavor and a stunning presentation.
- To enjoy, stir the foam into the milk before drinking, allowing the spiced coffee to infuse into the creamy base.
Tips
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the coffee mixture.
- Try using flavored syrups, such as vanilla or caramel, in the milk for a sweeter variation.
- Experiment with different milk alternatives like almond or oat milk to cater to dietary preferences.
