# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It turns three pantry staples into something that looks like it came from a professional coffee shop.
- The contrast of icy milk and bittersweet foam makes every sip feel like a small indulgence.
- You probably already have everything you need sitting in your kitchen right now.
02 -
- Underwhipping is the most common mistake, so keep going until the mixture is thick and holds its shape when you lift the whisk.
- The equal parts ratio of coffee, sugar, and water is key, so do not eyeball it on your first try.
03 -
- Use a bowl with a wide base rather than a deep one, because the increased surface area helps incorporate air much faster.
- Taste the foam before serving and adjust with a touch more sugar or coffee depending on whether you prefer it sweeter or bolder.
