Going down Memory Lane

Indian Cappuccino makes me nostalgic because it takes me back to my childhood. Growing up, I have fond memories of my older siblings and I making Desi Cappuccino. We would sit around the table and take turns beating the coffee which would turn into a beautiful mocha color.

As a kid, I’d easily get tired beating the coffee for more than a minute. Trust me, it’s an arm workout. Once we’d prepare the cappuccino, my siblings would drink most of it and just give me a sip, well because, I was just a kid. This story is one of my favorite childhood memories.

What is Indian Style Cappuccino Beaten Coffee?

Indian Cappuccino also is known as Desi Cappuccino, Hand Beaten Coffee, and also Dalgona Coffee. When coffee, sugar, and water are mixed together for 10 minutes or so, a creamy, frothy, airy foam mixture is formed. The mixture is then divided evenly into 4 cups, this depends on how strong you like your coffee. Then pour frothy steaming milk or non-dairy milk over the whipped coffee. Stir and enjoy! That’s it. So simple.

Which Milk should I use to make Indian Cappuccino?

Use any milk you love, dairy or non-dairy.

For this recipe, I used Califia Farms Oat Barista Blend which works really well. Feel free to use cashew milk, almond milk, oat milk, regular dairy milk, or whatever else you like.

How to make Whipped Coffee?

1. In a cup, add Instant coffee, sugar, and water.
2. Beat this mixture for roughly 10 minutes.

3. The color will go from dark brown to a light mocha color. Here are the various colors you’ll observe.

4. This is the color and texture you want.

How to make Indian Style Cappuccino

1. Add a cup of milk (1 cup per person) and heat on medium heat until steaming about 5 minutes, not boiling hot.
2. Use a frother to froth the milk while it steams.

3. Split the coffee mixture evenly into 4 cups, OR simply add a dollop of the coffee mixture to your cup. The more coffee you add, the stronger it’ll be. I prefer milder coffee.
4. Pour the milk into your mug three-fourths of the way.
5. Stir well.
6. Froth the remaining milk and pour until your mug is full.

7. Enjoy!
