Whipped Coffee/Matcha

Hi #NOWFam!

We’re back with another recipe for you and this time it’s a beverage! A lot of us are missing our favorite fancy coffee drinks from our wonderful Portland coffee shops and have gotten innovative at making coffee at home. Here’s a recipe for Dalgona whipped coffee- with a few add-ins, a matcha variation for my non-coffee drinkers + a nutrition tip, of course!

NUTRITION TIP: Did you know the tannins in coffee can block nutrient absorption of key vitamins and minerals from your fruits + veggies? Try to consume your coffee separately from your meals and snacks to avoid any loss of nutrition. 

INGREDIENTS (2 servings):

  • 2 tbsp instant coffee

  • 2 tbsp boiling water

  • 2 tbsp sugar*

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • ½ tsp cinnamon

  • Non-dairy milk of your choosing

*You can do a little less but keep at least 1 tbsp to create those stiff peaks!

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Mix sugar + instant coffee together in shallow bowl or in a stand mixer 

  2. Pour boiling water over top and begin to whisk with either a hand mixer, handheld milk frother, or in a stand mixer. 

  3. It should take about 3-5 minutes to form peaks with an electric mixer but be prepared to whisk for the long-haul if you’re doing it by hand (10-15 minutes)

  4. When stiff peaks appear, add in your vanilla + cinnamon and give it a final mix to incorporate

  5. Pour an equal portion over two 8-oz glass of non-dairy milk and enjoy! Feel free to mix your whipped coffee into the milk after you take your pretty photo for IG ;-)

MATCHA VARIATION:

  • ¼ cup aquafaba (the liquid from about 1 can of chickpeas)

  • 1 tbsp of matcha powder

  • 2 tbsp sugar

  • 2 tbsp boiling water

  • 1 tsp vanilla

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Pour aquafaba into a stand mixer or medium mixing bowl and start to beat on high (you can try by hand for this one but I have not!) until it forms peaks. This will take a few minutes.

  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together matcha, sugar, vanilla, and boiling water until matcha is dissolved.

  3. Pour the contents of your small mixing bowl into your aquafaba bowl + start to beat together until combined

  4. Pour an equal portion over two 8-oz glasses of non-dairy milk and enjoy!
