HERE ARE A FEW TIPS ABOUT MAKING WHIPPED COFFEE

This recipe can easily be cut in half, quarters or doubled to meet your needs.
This is a bit bitter on its own so adjust the sugar levels to your preference.
Try not to skip the sugar, you can try adding in less, but the sugar is the key ingredient that helps this become a light and fluffy whipped coffee.
Using hot water will help dissolve both the sugar and instant coffee really quickly speeding up the whipping process.
Any of the whipped coffee that isn’t enjoyed right away can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours, you may want to whisk or whip it again to add a little more air back into it. Or you can store the freshly whipped coffee in the freezer. Because there is so much air in it, it does not freeze solid like ice or even ice cream, its closer to freezing a sticky foam that you will spoon out of the container to add to your milk or coffee, perfect for iced coffee.
