Ingredients

  • ¼ cup water
  • ½–2 tsp instant coffee with chicory root
  • ¾ cup milk
  • Sugar (optional)

Directions

  1. Bring the water to a boil, and stir in the coffee. Ensure there are no lumps.
  2. Bring the milk to a boil.
  3. Add the coffee mixture to the milk, and sweeten with sugar to taste.
  4. 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.
  5. If desired, you can dip a teaspoon in the coffee and lightly spread a few drops of it over the froth in the mug.
  6. Serve piping hot.

Notes

Filter coffee in India is actually made in a closed steel container called a coffee filter.
