# Expert Insights:

01 -
  • The texture is like eating a coffee cloud that slowly melts into your milk
  • You probably already have everything in your pantry right now
  • The dramatic presentation makes everyone think you tried way harder than you actually did
02 -
  • The mixture must reach stiff peaks or it will sink into the milk instead of floating on top
  • Room temperature water works but hot water dissolves the sugar faster and helps achieve peaks more quickly
03 -
  • A hand mixer will save your arm and achieve consistent peaks in under two minutes
  • Make extra whipped coffee and store it in the fridge for up to two days in an airtight container
