Pakistani Whipped Coffee
Pakistani Whipped Coffee
Also known as a Pakistani latte, this whipped coffee will change the way you start your morning. All you need is instant coffee(I like to use Nescafé), sugar, and a tbsp of hot water. Using an electric beater, whisk until the coffee mix thickens like whipped cream. What you’ve created is concentrated whipped coffee. Then add equal amounts of hot water and milk. Mix together and you have a whipped coffee. If you want iced coffee, add cold water and a few ice cubes.
