Method

  1. 1

    Shake the foam. Shake the coffee, sugar and water hard in a closed shaker for 30-60 seconds until thick and foamy.

  2. 2

    Add ice. Add the ice and shake 1 minute more until very cold.

  3. 3

    Pour. Tip everything into a tall glass, spooning the last of the foam on top.

  4. 4

    Add the milk. Pour the milk slowly down the tilted glass so the foam floats.

  5. 5

    Serve. Add a straw and drink at once.

Storage

Make and drink fresh; the foam collapses on standing. Cool leftovers in a shallow container and refrigerate within 2 hours (within 1 hour on a day above 32°C).

Equipment

  • cocktail shaker or jam jar with a tight lid (or a milk frother)
