Mix. In a mixer with the whisk (you can also do this in a mixing bowl using a hand-mixer; see notes), mix the instant coffee granules, granulated sugar, plus hot water. Beat on medium-high speed till pale, fluffy, and doubled in volume, around 7 minutes (the foam will start to form at around 4 minutes, but it's best to keep mixing till a much fluffier foam forms at around 7 minutes). To offer, fill every glass three-quarters of the way full using your milk of choice. Top each glass with the coffee foam using a spoon. Eat at once.
Storage
Keep covered and eat within a few days; freeze leftovers if the dish allows it.
Caffeine · Free sugars
- Per serving: about 110 mg caffeine (serving: 1 glass (3.5 g instant coffee)). Source: 3.5 g instant coffee × USDA FDC SR Legacy #171893 (instant coffee powder, 3140 mg/100 g; 1 tsp = 1 g).
- Scaling: making more servings does not change the caffeine in each serving; what counts is how many servings you drink in a day. 1 serving: 110 mg · 2 servings: 220 mg (above EFSA 200 mg at once) · 3 servings: 330 mg (above EFSA 200 mg at once) · 4 servings: 440 mg (above EFSA 400 mg a day).
- General guideline: EFSA Scientific Opinion on the safety of caffeine (2015): for healthy adults, up to 200 mg in a single dose and up to 400 mg per day do not raise safety concerns. 1 serving = 28 % of 400 mg. EFSA
7.5 g per serving
15 % of the 50 g daily maximum · 30 % of the ideal 25 g
Free sugars under 50 g a day, ideally about 25 g, based on WHO free-sugar guidance (not endorsed by WHO). The share shown is the share of one serving. WHO
