INDIAN ESPRESSO COFFEE | FROTHY ESPRESSO COFFEE

Print Friendly and PDF
coffee 1

I am a big coffee lover.. I wanted to try espresso for a long time & referred here for the recipe. I halved the quantity and tried for me alone. It was awesome , frothy , creamy , rich and lip smacking. I have never tasted such an aromatic, flavourful, tasty instant coffee. 

I have heard Cappuccino, espresso in words only. Never gotta chance to try those. But now I am happy I can make @home. So I can enjoy whenever I feel like having it. The recipe I tried is a fool proof recipe. I just increased the sugar quantity else the same.. Do try it , you’ll be addictive to its taste.

INGREDIENTS

  • Instant coffee powder – 1.5 tsp ( I used Aveon coffee powder, Nescafe works too)
  • Sugar – 2.5 - 3 tsp ( I used 3 tsp)
  • Milk – 1/2 cup
  • Water – 3/4 cup
  • Drinking chocolate powder – Little to sprinkle ( I used weik field )

METHOD
    • Beat sugar and coffee powder vigorously in tea cup (in which you are going to serve ) with a spoon till light and fluffy, adding few drops of water to facilitate beating.

    • Gradually add more drops of water, taking care not to make the mixture thin. Beat till the mixture turns a little whitish and fluffy . (I beat the mixture for nearly 15 mins..) Initially it will be hard . But as you beat, you’ll feel the mixture becoming soft and fluffy.

Take the milk in a pan . Add water and allow it to boil.
    • When the milk water mixture boils and rises up, reduce flame and simmer for a minute ..
    • Remove from fire and pour into cups from a little height to get a frothy coffee. Stir. Sprinkle some drinking chocolate. Serve immediately. Enjoy !!

POINTS TO NOTE

  • If you wanna make two coffee with the above recipe, put half the beaten coffee in each cup in which you are going to serve.
  • I used aveon coffee powder which is coarse in texture. So it took more time to beat and become fluffy. U should beat it well till all sugar & coffee powder dissolves completely.
  • U can use any instant coffee powder. Adjust the sugar quantity as per your taste.

The froth is as good as it would come off an expresso machine. Nice one Chitra!

This was our daily morning routine when we visited a friend's place for 'joint studies' in my college days ( seems so far far back). It brought back those years. You could hear the clinking of spoons as we ( about 6 of us) put all our energy to beat the coffee in the mug - the dark brown colour of coffee turns lighter as air gets incorporated which is essential for the froth.

A perfect cup of kaapi :) would love it!!

I tried this method but was too lazy/impatient with the beating so didn't get the lovely fluffy texture like you did... 15 mins beating huh? guess it's a good workout before drinking it :) Will try next time more patiently

Never knew about this way of making espresso coffee at home. So simple and results are exactly like espresso coffee we get at any coffee stand.
