Whisk the mixture together. Using an electric hand mixer or Kitchen Aid will cut down on your prep time considerably. Beat the mixture until peaks are formed. Be careful not to splash it out of the bowl if you’re doing this by hand.

Step 3: Pour The Milk

Pour some milk into a glass. Add some ice cubes. You will want it nice and chilled since the coffee mixture will still be warm.

Put two or three generous scoops of the whipped coffee mixture on top of your milk.
