Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup water
- ½–2 tsp instant coffee with chicory root
- ¾ cup milk
- Sugar (optional)
Directions
- Bring the water to a boil, and stir in the coffee. Ensure there are no lumps.
- Bring the milk to a boil.
- Add the coffee mixture to the milk, and sweeten with sugar to taste.
- While the coffee is still boiling hot, pour it into a mug or, preferably, a stainless steel tumbler. While pouring the coffee, slowly raise the saucepan so the coffee falls into the mug from a height of about 1–1½ ft. This will cause the coffee to froth like espresso.
- If desired, you can dip a teaspoon in the coffee and lightly spread a few drops of it over the froth in the mug.
- Serve piping hot.
Notes
Filter coffee in India is actually made in a closed steel container called a coffee filter.
