Hi everyone.. in this instructable, we will be making cappuccino style coffee without any special appliance and just 3 ingredients!

This is my mother's favourite method of preparing creamy and foamy coffee which used to be my saviour especially during late night studies. It is a very simple method of making cappuccino style coffee at home and requires no special machines and coffee mixes. It involves incorporating air into a paste of coffee and sugar till thick and frothy, by beating the mix with a spoon. This method of beating the coffee mix is what gives the coffee the name Beaten Coffee. On addition of milk, this coffee mix dissolves and the air is released creating a delicious froth of top of the coffee.

Step 1: Preparation..

INGREDIENTS:

Milk, Hot – 1 cup/ 200 ml

milk(for beating cofee) – 1 tsp

Coffee Powder – 1 tsp

Sugar – 3 tsp

METHOD:

In a mug, add coffee, 1 tsp milk and sugar, mix well using spoon, the mixture should not be watery, just moist.(Here we are using a steel glass for mixing and beating, since we dont want to risk the mug during vigorous whisking).

At first, for about a minute you will find no difference. Once the froth starts appearing add 3 to 4 drops of milk. Now roll up those sleeves and start beating the coffee mixture till it becomes thick and creamy. The color will also lighten gradually. This will take a good 4-5 minutes, so be prepared for some muscle work. Add a few drops of milk if needed and keep beating. At no point should the mixture be watery so go slow on that temptation to add more milk, just a drop or two would suffice.

After a while the mixture will be so thick that it will not drop off the spoon if turned over. I feel it resembles thick coffee butter cream , and oh that smell… so delicious. Do not attempt to lick it off the spoon, that is not very tasty.

During this time, boil the milk, and add the milk to the coffee mixture and mix to combine. You will notice a nice thick layer of froth appearing on top. Stir and enjoy!

NOTE:

Water could also be used for beating coffee instead of milk.

Adjust the coffee or sugar according to personal preference. I like my coffee mild, but you can add more if you like it strong. combination.

You may sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon powder on top if you like your coffee with a cinnamon flavor or maybe try a sprinkle of drinking chocolate on it.

If you are preparing big batch, beat it in a single mug/ glass for relatively few more minutes and then add the beaten coffee to individual cups and pour hot milk over it.
