2-min Cardamom Latte (Phitti Coffee)
Don't have an espresso machine, no problem! Try my 2-min cardamom latte that has all the froth of a gourmet coffee but none of the effort.
Servings 1
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Instant coffee I use Nescafe original
- 1 ½-2 teaspoon sugar I use 2 teaspoon of raw sugar but if using white sugar 1 ½ teaspoon is plenty sweet
- 1 cup milk I drink this in a 12 oz mug
Instructions
- In a microwave safe mug/cup, add the coffee and sugar and just ½ a teaspoon of water.
- Mix vigorously with a spoon until the coffee turns a pale color and becomes fluffy. This should take you only about 30-45 seconds.
- Once your coffee turns fluffy and light brown, add a splash of milk to loosen the mixture and then top off the mug with milk and stir for a couple seconds.
- Add one cardamom pod (lightly cracked open) and microwave the coffee for 1 minutes. Take it out, give it a gentle stir and then microwave for 30 seconds. It will become really frothy.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Be sure to add only a few drops of water to the coffee. If it turns to liquid, then you have gone too far and mixing can take pretty long. When adding just a couple drops, the mixture is really grainy and has a consistency of a sugar scrub. Continue beating with a spoon and only add a drop of water if needed.
- For me, 1 and a half minute is plenty to get the perfect froth. But you can add 15 more seconds.
