🛒 Ingredients (Serves 1)

  • 100 ml (1 dl) strong, cold black coffee (freshly brewed and cooled or iced coffee)

  • 1 tbsp sugar or sweetener (white sugar, brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup)

  • Optional garnishes: chocolate shavings, coffee beans, or cinnamon

👩‍🍳 Instructions (2 Minutes)

    • Vigorously whisk with a fork or small whisk until smooth and slightly fluffy, creating a mousse-like texture.
