@@rossr1942 So you've been doing it for a couple of weeks then? He put that video out recently. I've been making over easy eggs the way he showed in the Egg Files episode years ago.
Subbing in powdered sugar rather than granulated sugar is a good way to make it fluffier and it’ll come together way faster. It takes less than a minute in my Kitchenaid.
Peter Guilherme what's the smallest amount you can make in yours? I can't make a single serving in my mixer, the beaters don't touch the bowl. So I use an aerolatte and it splashes and it's not very strong so I don't get thick enough foam.
Tim Frey I’ve made it with two tablespoons each of instant coffee, water and powdered sugar. That’s the smallest amount I’ve made and it whipped up fine. Took a bit longer maybe three mins on high.
Tim Frey I use 1tablespoon equal parts in my stand mixer. With the whisk attachment it works fine for me😊 I’ll scrape the sides of the bowl after about 2 min of mixing though since I use so little.

but when he's prepared, he'll give more pointers because he's already figured out tricks that would take us mere mortals a decade with our puny mortal brains to puzzle through.

I've been doing this with the egg beater and it only takes a few minutes. A friend used the whipped cream attachment for her stick blender and said it took under a minute. Also...try it with chocolate milk.
I've seen some videos that use those drink shaker bottle with the wire ball for smoothies (?) but I've personally done it by hand because its easier to shove it off to a sibling when my arm gets tired
I’m Korean and I’m just so glad that people are actually trying this lol not only just because this is Korean thing, but also so glad that lot of people around the world can try this amazing stuff
I've made it a bunch over the last couple of weeks, but I usually pour milk over ice and then add the whipped coffee on top and mix. It's absolutely delicious, but be warned, has a major caffeine kick to it and it's way too easy to gulp down in two seconds! So yummy!
@@kristenp1606 sounds awesome! i'll try it this way next. my first attempt was just putting the foam ontop of already finished cuban style cafe con leche, and it was a bit odd and overly sweet for me. i like the idea of adding the coffee to milk rather than to more coffee.
Hey Alton, thank you for being here with us as we all stay home and learn to cook again. Those peanut butter cookies you showed a few weeks back were terrific. Glad to see your take on this new trend, and I'll be definitely trying out the little vanilla tip when I whip up some next time.
I stuck a single beater in my coffee cup, poured the hot water over the coffee crystals and sugar and in less then 2 minutes, I had the foam. The hotter the water, the sooner you get the foam, no need to dissolve the sugar first. Unfortunately, this beautiful foam tastes super gross. Yuk! Of course, I don't drink the instant stuff, I grind my beans right before making my coffee. Fresh coffee beans freshly ground tastes far superior to instant. Was really hoping that AB would have some magic to make this taste good.
I really like this being the first time Alton's done this. It's like getting to see behind the scenes a little of what they probably go through to perfect the recipes.
She also added butter and substituted the regular sugar with confectioner's sugar and would brew the instant coffee first, then add to creamed butter/sugar mixture.
Awesome! I love using Bustelo Instant espresso for all my experiments (have been using it for many years) because they make the best instant that always gives me the best, most consistent results in my coffee/espressos. Thanks Alton!
I do equal volumes of sugar, water, and instant espresso (2 Tbs each) and hand whisk vigorously in the smallest bowl I have for a minute and a half and it turns out perfectly every time! Yes, my hand is tired, but it wakes you up so well in the morning! Little to no mess!
@@egyptiansushi I use Medaglia D'oro Instant Espresso powder and it calls for "1 to 2 tablespoons for 3 oz hot water" for an espresso on the label. This coffee absolutely has a kick though!! 😆
The true measure of a being is by their actions. I'm happy to say Alton is out here doin' it to em. I didn't know Dalgona coffee existed. Now I know and have something to bond over with my significant other.
I watched your show when i was a kid and it entertained me for hours since your humor was perfect for a kid. And now your humor has changed, its entertaining me for hours as a teenager.
Alton, as a solution to the mess with the bowl my wife has an elegant solution: Use an immersion blender with the whisk attachment inside of a large mouth Mason jar. Fits perfectly, no mess no fuss.
Cool Idea. I checked out a couple other videos on the topic and configured a quick method using your measurements with a couple twists: Ceramic bowl, and used water just before boiling point. I also used a cheap Sunbeam mixer with the whisk attachments. It whipped up extremely frothy/foamy in about 90 seconds. Thank you for the idea!
I was so excited to see you made a Dalgona coffee, and clicked right away! I love coffee, heard all the hype and tried this myself. I used 1T, instant coffee, 1T. hot water and a little less than 1T of sugar. I whisked for only about 2 minutes with a hand whisk, so was surprised to see you needed a hand mixer and 5 minutes of mixing! I don't really care for milk, so I plopped my globs of foam in a glass with ice, cold coffee from that morning's brew, a splash of half and half and another plop of the foamy stuff. It was good. I will try the vanilla extract next time. Thanks for sharing! I have always enjoyed Good Eats and am enjoying watching you on UA-cam!
It looks kinda like greek frappé. Foam instant coffee, water and sugar in a glass and add Ice cubes and water or milk if you like. They only take a few seconds to make a stable foam. Its cheap, delicious and refreshing
It's December 7th, 2021 and we're still in the Pandemic, but we're past the lockdown portion. Going back and watching videos from early 2020 is quite a trip. You can just feel the sadness and tiredness and confusion in videos like this.

From skirt steak cooked directly on top of charcoal to popcorn cooked in a stainless steel bowl (my daughter’s favorite) I am grateful for what you’ve shared! God bless
Eyy coffee milk got some recognition! One of these years Rhode Island will be recognized for its weird state drink. Keep doing you, Autocrat. Got some syrup in my fridge right now!
Lol, I thank god for Amazon now days as I can order big bottles of Autocrat since I live on the west coast now days. I introduced a room mate to coffee milk here and they had never heard of it as they were originally from New York.... Think they killed a bottle on their own! Lol.... That made me sad.
I'm so excited because I can finally teach Alton Brown something. So I've got an immersion blender, with a whisk attachment, it came with a thick plastic measuring cup, holds about a pint. That whisk fits in there with maybe a centimeter to spare on all sides. Toss the ingredients in that cup, it whips this stuff up in like 30 seconds to a minute . Also awesome for making whipped cream.
I use my immersion blender with the whip and a mason jar. Thank you informing people of instant espresso. We have used for everything from morning joe to baking. I enjoy this treat every morning.
I did it, either I'm weak or my coffee is stronger, this was way too much. Also I'd recommend splitting the water and dissolving the coffee and the sugar in each half before combining as the coffee granules didn't all dissolve for me once I started whisking, getting chunks of 'raw' instant coffee is not nice! The foaming was impressive though.
I found that a wire whisk attachment on an immersion blender works much better. It only take me a minute or two, and I do it in a tall, narrow pitcher. It also helps to let it cool first, it won't foam well until it cools down. The whisking cools it quicker, but it's easier to let it cool on it's own so you don't have to whisk as long.
I made this a few months ago, it was pretty fun and my husband loved it. I used my immersion blenders whisk attachment and it only took about 5 minutes to whip up to a fluffy and rich foam.
I haven't done this part myself, but I've been lead to understand that you can make a large batch, put it in a wide container and freeze it. It'll freeze in a similar consistency as ice cream, so it's easy to scoop out a portion. You will want to put it in the glass first and pour the milk over it though, so the milk can thaw it. I've also seen this made with hot water and it becomes a fairly stable frosting for cakes/cupcakes, no need for gelatin or other stabilizers. I don't think the water temp would make much difference in the flavor, so if you don't want to try to freeze you can go that route instead and refrigerate.
It’s great to see Alton making Dalgona coffee ! The original dalgona, we actually melt sugar and put baking sugar to inflate it and eat it as a sweet snack :) Anyways thank you for sharing this recipe with many people !
I made dalgona from a cooled down regular drip coffee, worked just as well - though obviously it was sweet and only slightly coffee-tasting. The reason for instant or even instant espresso is the flavor, not any special advantage from the freeze-dried particles. Didn't seem to take any longer, either. I'd suggest the foam is actually just sugar dissolved in a bit of water (so syrup), beaten to an aerated foam. Obviously when I did it with already liquid coffee, I didn't add any water to it (the coffee had enough in it), and it foamed up just as nicely and the foam was pretty stable too (it was still foam 30mins later when I went back to kitchen to rinse out the bowl). So if this is your jam, just brew up your strongest cowboy coffee and let it cool, add sugar and beat the hell out of it.
Melanie Nicholson that’s a good idea. I’ve had the best success with a tiny whisk and lots of spinning manually. Can whip it up faster that way then with a blender
This worked great, I used my whipper on the immersion blender. And used half sugar, half Stevia. I already had the instant expresso. It gave a nice jolt. It was wonderful, I loved it. Thanks Alton...
My teenagers make this stuff every day and they put the coffee mixture into mason jars and shake the crap out of it. Caffeine AND morning exercise! But no mess, so they've got that going for them.
Just make sure they have a good grip. I once was mixing a salad dressing in a mason jar and it flew out of my hand and shattered against my kitchen door a week after I moved into a new apartment. It smelled like vinegar for weeks and I was finding glass shards everywhere for ages haha
@@Westerlywick haha! Good point and I'll mention it to them. Thanks for the advice! Of course, having everything smell like coffee may not be a bad thing. Ha!
@@rdaj12 I love this idea. Though if I try it, I'll probably use a shaker cup with one of those little whisk balls inside. We have loads of those things lol
I used my stick blender with the whisk attachment and the tall cup that came with it. The narrow vessel concentrates the whisking and to do 4 TBsp instant coffee with 3 TBdp sugar and 4 TBsp hot water takes no more than 20 seconds. Fun and delicious!
I love Autocrat syrup. Makes great milkshakes, too. I haven't had it in a while, and stores down here don't carry it. I guess I'll bite the bullet and buy a bottle from Amazon.
@@melissasaint3283 Nah, just found it after watching an anime where the main character was a "coffee milk" fan -- not exactly the same thing, but Japan has a sweet milk coffee drink. It sounded good, so I looked it up and found the RI thing and ordered a case direct from Autocrat at a fair price. Seems like they stopped doing direct-ship now, or at least I can't find it. Born in TN. I'm in Huntsville, AL now. Might move out West (Colorado, maybe) in a year or two.
Just made it your way with Bustello instant espresso instead of Tasters Choice instant coffee. Really good! I might have put a little too much vanilla, but I liked the toasted honey flavor it provided. Also made me feel less 'coffee gross' if anyone knows what I'm talking about. Excellent first take at it.
Please tell me there is al least ONE soul that read the title and saw Panty Raid and trusted Alton SO much you were willing to do down that rabbit hole....?
I was happy to see him use Bustello instant espresso. I like that stuff so much that I hardly use regular coffee anymore. Makes wonderful lattes and great Dalgonas.
lol the bowl makes all the difference. A steep sided bowl made for a stand mixer works much better with an electric. the bowl Alton chose works much better with a balloon whisk, and you can mix it perfectly well by hand, just start listening to podcast or something because you'll be there a while. as for cleanup, everything there's water soluble so it isn't so bad.
@@robm6726 You're probably more responsible! I've been so experimental with cooking lately that I go every couple days to pick up some extra stuff. I wish I could make it last a week without needing something!
@@InnuendoXP Makes sense ! I'm kinda a neat freak though, especially when I'm in the kitchen cooking. Anything sitting on the counter will completely freak me out!
I just made this using the whisk attachment for my stick blender in a one quart Mason jar. It worked beautifully without making a splattery mess. If I do it again, though, I'll make a half batch; the foam to milk ratio is a bit much for me as is. It would be perfect for 2-3 people as written, though.
My friend's mother (a kind Abbruzzese nonna) use to make this for us way back in the early 70's. Nothing new to me. I loved it then and could love it today if I had it.
Jim Cook bruh it’s kinda like asking how to make…idk, applesauce or something. There might be some personal variations but the basic idea is literally just boiling butter until it clarifies. Don’t get so worked up if people who make and eat it regularly find such a question a bit odd.
The best method I've found so far, is to use the whisk attachment that came with my immersion blender, and a narrow cylinder container (also came with the blender). Very little mess as long as I wash everything promptly, and only takes a few minutes.
"Who was that masked man?" "I don't know but he had excellent taste. Oh and he left us this recipe." "That's different. Most people who help us just leave a bill." "Oh he did that too."
I've done this with my 2 year old (she doesn't get to drink it though). I use a stand mixer so I'm not holding it for 5-10 mins. Chocolate syrup around the edge of the glass is also a nice add on.
I use the whisk attachment on my immersion blender and a much smaller bowl. Just keep it steady and let the motor do the work, move it around too much and it goes flying everywhere. I like to put it over almond milk and ice and top with whipped cream
Hey Alton, my Greek friends have been making “Frape” for ever! All you need is water sugar “RED NESCAFE” if you can’t get The Greek style imported, and a cocktail shaker. You can even use a Tupperware container or an old margarine tub if you have to. Shake until foamy and pour over ice. Dilute and add milk or cream to taste. Sure it’s not as velvety but it only takes 60 seconds....
I've been doing this with the good ol' arm and whisk. But I am using 1 Tbs of each so it's not too much. Takes 3-5 minutes to whisk it! Not bad. The coffee "smoothie" texture is unbelievable!
I’ve been watching Good Eats for years and love it!!i love that he has this on my youtube , I done did the whipped coffee trend and I used my mixer too, I wasn’t born yesterday ❤️and it is with the trouble my bunch loves it
They discontinued it while I was still in New York. I remembered I used to stock up all the coffee milk if I can find it. Like got 8 of them in the World Trade Center and carried them all the way back.
I make the foam for Cuban style coffee in a similar way. I pour some of the coffee into a cup and add sugar. I also use a hand mixer. I remove one of the beaters so it can fit into the cup. The cup keeps everything inside and reduces the amount of splash.
Ok, we have a thing in Greece we call "frappe coffee" which is made by vigorously blending instant coffee, water and sugar, and is then diluted with water, milk and ice cubes. NEver thought that a far-away Asian country would have basically the same idea
This made me chuckle I first made this coffee with a random brand of instant coffee and then found cafe bustelo. I find bustelo is way better and actually froths up much faster I also use vanilla almond milk(I can't do the whole lactose thing) for extra flavor.
I want a video where Alton just blurts out every brand name he can think of, so he can get it out of his system.
Ohh, maybe he could do it as a song?

I'm so excited because I can finally teach Alton Brown something. So I've got an immersion blender, with a whisk attachment, it came with a thick plastic measuring cup, holds about a pint. That whisk fits in there with maybe a centimeter to spare on all sides. Toss the ingredients in that cup, it whips this stuff up in like 30 seconds to a minute . Also awesome for making whipped cream.
I use my immersion blender with the whip and a mason jar. Thank you informing people of instant espresso. We have used for everything from morning joe to baking. I enjoy this treat every morning.
This might be worth trying in the afternoon when I have nothing much else to do. If I fail then coffee milkshake sounds great anyway.
I did it, either I'm weak or my coffee is stronger, this was way too much. Also I'd recommend splitting the water and dissolving the coffee and the sugar in each half before combining as the coffee granules didn't all dissolve for me once I started whisking, getting chunks of 'raw' instant coffee is not nice! The foaming was impressive though.
I am requesting a full fledged Alton Brown treatment to this thing!
I found that a wire whisk attachment on an immersion blender works much better. It only take me a minute or two, and I do it in a tall, narrow pitcher. It also helps to let it cool first, it won't foam well until it cools down. The whisking cools it quicker, but it's easier to let it cool on it's own so you don't have to whisk as long.
I made this a few months ago, it was pretty fun and my husband loved it. I used my immersion blenders whisk attachment and it only took about 5 minutes to whip up to a fluffy and rich foam.
Can you make a large batch and then stabilize it with something, like gelatin? And refrigerate it for later use?
I haven't done this part myself, but I've been lead to understand that you can make a large batch, put it in a wide container and freeze it. It'll freeze in a similar consistency as ice cream, so it's easy to scoop out a portion. You will want to put it in the glass first and pour the milk over it though, so the milk can thaw it.
I've also seen this made with hot water and it becomes a fairly stable frosting for cakes/cupcakes, no need for gelatin or other stabilizers. I don't think the water temp would make much difference in the flavor, so if you don't want to try to freeze you can go that route instead and refrigerate.
It’s great to see Alton making Dalgona coffee ! The original dalgona, we actually melt sugar and put baking sugar to inflate it and eat it as a sweet snack :)
Anyways thank you for sharing this recipe with many people !
I made dalgona from a cooled down regular drip coffee, worked just as well - though obviously it was sweet and only slightly coffee-tasting. The reason for instant or even instant espresso is the flavor, not any special advantage from the freeze-dried particles. Didn't seem to take any longer, either.
I'd suggest the foam is actually just sugar dissolved in a bit of water (so syrup), beaten to an aerated foam. Obviously when I did it with already liquid coffee, I didn't add any water to it (the coffee had enough in it), and it foamed up just as nicely and the foam was pretty stable too (it was still foam 30mins later when I went back to kitchen to rinse out the bowl).
So if this is your jam, just brew up your strongest cowboy coffee and let it cool, add sugar and beat the hell out of it.
Love these shorts Alton! You should mention the watch you’re wearing at the end of each one and show us a little closeup!
Wow. I'm here early for once. These are the best type of videos Alton has made. At least C19 has brought us some good.
Say it with me, Mr. Brown:
"Immersion Blender in a deep, slender vessel"
Good luck!
Great idea!!
KitchenAid: set it and forget it.
You said exactly what I was thinking
Melanie Nicholson that’s a good idea. I’ve had the best success with a tiny whisk and lots of spinning manually. Can whip it up faster that way then with a blender
I thought immersion blender immediately too. Not sure it would be ideal, but never made foam before. It would be nice if a regular blender would work.
This worked great, I used my whipper on the immersion blender. And used half sugar, half Stevia.
I already had the instant expresso. It gave a nice jolt. It was wonderful, I loved it.
Thanks Alton...
Yep, learned that a standard, small soup bowl works best for containing the foam mixture. Allows for all ingredients to mix well with consistency
I need AB’s kitchen elves to clean up my messes.
My 18 year old son makes this with a whisk almost every morning. It takes him about two minutes.
That looks beautiful! Love the color.
We used an insulated camping tumbler from cork sickle and an immersion blender with a whisk attachment. It was excellent and foamed up like crazy in
My teenagers make this stuff every day and they put the coffee mixture into mason jars and shake the crap out of it. Caffeine AND morning exercise! But no mess, so they've got that going for them.
Just make sure they have a good grip. I once was mixing a salad dressing in a mason jar and it flew out of my hand and shattered against my kitchen door a week after I moved into a new apartment. It smelled like vinegar for weeks and I was finding glass shards everywhere for ages haha
@@Westerlywick haha! Good point and I'll mention it to them. Thanks for the advice! Of course, having everything smell like coffee may not be a bad thing. Ha!
This whole video I was thinking that surely there must be a way to shake this to make it instead of mixing it!
@@Nails_By_Kimberlee leave it to my teenagers to come up with a brilliant alternative. LOL!
@@rdaj12 I love this idea. Though if I try it, I'll probably use a shaker cup with one of those little whisk balls inside. We have loads of those things lol
Hi Alton! I am very lucky to have a vitamix. It works really well with this recipe. Not such the mess. 😊 I am waiting on your Good Eats Kimchi!
Praise ye the Lord Good to know. Standing at the counter with a hand mixer not my favorite thing.
Yes I used my Ninja wwhat a great way to do it and no mess🤗
Yes Alton, I could tell you were not happy about it. 😊 Have a great weekend!
Great! It just keeps everything in and so much easier!
I always get enjoyment from watching you Mr. Brown, long time fan keep these videos coming. So who cleaned the mess the camera guy , the Mrs. or Scabs
I used my stick blender with the whisk attachment and the tall cup that came with it. The narrow vessel concentrates the whisking and to do 4 TBsp instant coffee with 3 TBdp sugar and 4 TBsp hot water takes no more than 20 seconds. Fun and delicious!
What about coconut sugar? It’s got a caramel taste.
Give it a shot and let the world know. 🙂
That is a crazy way to make coffee milk (state beverage of Rhode Island). Just use Eclipse coffee syrup or Autocrat coffee syrup.
Made with espresso, I thought it had the pleasant smokiness of Autocrat,
But a much more interesting texture, very pleasing.
I love Autocrat syrup. Makes great milkshakes, too. I haven't had it in a while, and stores down here don't carry it. I guess I'll bite the bullet and buy a bottle from Amazon.
@@bloodgain Are you originally from New England? Where-ish are you ?
@@melissasaint3283 Nah, just found it after watching an anime where the main character was a "coffee milk" fan -- not exactly the same thing, but Japan has a sweet milk coffee drink. It sounded good, so I looked it up and found the RI thing and ordered a case direct from Autocrat at a fair price. Seems like they stopped doing direct-ship now, or at least I can't find it. Born in TN. I'm in Huntsville, AL now. Might move out West (Colorado, maybe) in a year or two.
I get Dave's when I'm down near Misquamicut, super good.
I am loving this series.
Just made it your way with Bustello instant espresso instead of Tasters Choice instant coffee.
Really good! I might have put a little too much vanilla, but I liked the toasted honey flavor it provided. Also made me feel less 'coffee gross' if anyone knows what I'm talking about. Excellent first take at it.
Please tell me there is al least ONE soul that read the title and saw Panty Raid and trusted Alton SO much you were willing to do down that rabbit hole....?
Uma Violet I’ve been thinking panty raid since the first episode. Every. Single. Time.
You have to make it with instant coffee from a Korean grocery store. American instant coffee just plain tastes bad. And it's 1:1:1 ratio by volume.
You did a section in a pastry magazine with recipes on how to make crunchy to chewy chocolate chip cookies …..
Just poked the bear , love you man !!
I was happy to see him use Bustello instant espresso. I like that stuff so much that I hardly use regular coffee anymore. Makes wonderful lattes and great Dalgonas.
Awww man that cleanup doesn’t look pleasant 😂 looks refreshing though! Will have to pick up coffee on my next grocery store run. (Hi camera guy!)
lol, and I just got back from a grocery store run. For next week.
lol the bowl makes all the difference. A steep sided bowl made for a stand mixer works much better with an electric.
the bowl Alton chose works much better with a balloon whisk, and you can mix it perfectly well by hand, just start listening to podcast or something because you'll be there a while.
as for cleanup, everything there's water soluble so it isn't so bad.
@@robm6726 You're probably more responsible! I've been so experimental with cooking lately that I go every couple days to pick up some extra stuff. I wish I could make it last a week without needing something!
@@InnuendoXP Makes sense ! I'm kinda a neat freak though, especially when I'm in the kitchen cooking. Anything sitting on the counter will completely freak me out!
@@spiercephotographysafety, the less times I'm at the store, the less chance I have of catching something.
I did mine by hand and it was pretty simple. Also, coffee milk! not milk coffee. ;)
I just made this using the whisk attachment for my stick blender in a one quart Mason jar. It worked beautifully without making a splattery mess. If I do it again, though, I'll make a half batch; the foam to milk ratio is a bit much for me as is. It would be perfect for 2-3 people as written, though.
My friend's mother (a kind Abbruzzese nonna) use to make this for us way back in the early 70's. Nothing new to me. I loved it then and could love it today if I had it.
If you’re taking requests, I’d like to see your preferred method for making ghee.
I think he said that's going to be in one of the new Good Eats episodes.
Is there any other way than to boil a slab of unsalted butter?
akshay kumar lol, right?
Right... because AB has never, ever figured out a different way of doing things than what everyone else does.
Jim Cook bruh it’s kinda like asking how to make…idk, applesauce or something. There might be some personal variations but the basic idea is literally just boiling butter until it clarifies. Don’t get so worked up if people who make and eat it regularly find such a question a bit odd.
I mix all the ingredients in a mason/jar and just shake, takes half the time and half the effort
The best method I've found so far, is to use the whisk attachment that came with my immersion blender, and a narrow cylinder container (also came with the blender). Very little mess as long as I wash everything promptly, and only takes a few minutes.
Lol I just love your explanation of things!
"Who was that masked man?"
"I don't know but he had excellent taste. Oh and he left us this recipe."
"That's different. Most people who help us just leave a bill."
"Oh he did that too."
I've done this with my 2 year old (she doesn't get to drink it though). I use a stand mixer so I'm not holding it for 5-10 mins. Chocolate syrup around the edge of the glass is also a nice add on.
I've seen nesquik officials fb page do a recipe on it. but they substitute the coffee with their powder. 💯
Let the mixture cool before mixing and an immersion blender works great. It makes my coffee feel a little special too.
I use the whisk attachment on my immersion blender and a much smaller bowl. Just keep it steady and let the motor do the work, move it around too much and it goes flying everywhere. I like to put it over almond milk and ice and top with whipped cream
Surfactant is pronounced “sir-FACT-ant”!
dkwolfe1 that’s how I’ve always said it too
Correct! I was yelling this at the TV hehe.
Me too
Maybe it's a Georgia thing? Like the very strange way California pecan growers describe their product?
Its an unwritten rule of UA-cam that you have to say words wrong or you dont get subs
Hey Alton, my Greek friends have been making “Frape” for ever! All you need is water sugar “RED NESCAFE” if you can’t get The Greek style imported, and a cocktail shaker. You can even use a Tupperware container or an old margarine tub if you have to. Shake until foamy and pour over ice. Dilute and add milk or cream to taste. Sure it’s not as velvety but it only takes 60 seconds....
That looked easy... also they have whipping tools for those blenders now not as messy... thin wires easy to control...
I've been doing this with the good ol' arm and whisk. But I am using 1 Tbs of each so it's not too much. Takes 3-5 minutes to whisk it! Not bad. The coffee "smoothie" texture is unbelievable!
Ooo Alton it would be cool to do an episode “viral” (sorry for the phrase) internet recipes like from Facebook Twitter Instagram and Tittok
Milk Coffee, Coffee Milk~ Regardless, a Rhode Islander would know what you mean if one said the prior
I’ve been watching Good Eats for years and love it!!i love that he has this on my youtube , I done did the whipped coffee trend and I used my mixer too, I wasn’t born yesterday ❤️and it is with the trouble my bunch loves it
PLEASE PUT THE RECIPES IN THE DESCRIPTION THANKKKK YOOOOOU. Big long time fan! Good Eats is the shit. Rock on 🤘🏼
Shout out to Rhode Island :-)
It’s like coffee milk, a taste of home.
Dave's is the best, always pick up a bunch when I'm visiting my patents in the summer.
They discontinued it while I was still in New York. I remembered I used to stock up all the coffee milk if I can find it. Like got 8 of them in the World Trade Center and carried them all the way back.
Oh now Alton is getting me *all whipped up!*
Mr.Brown thank you for all the entertainment it keeping me sane.
I make the foam for Cuban style coffee in a similar way. I pour some of the coffee into a cup and add sugar. I also use a hand mixer. I remove one of the beaters so it can fit into the cup. The cup keeps everything inside and reduces the amount of splash.
I make 1 serving at a time in a Mason jar: 1 to 1 to 1 ratio with milk poured over
Ok, we have a thing in Greece we call "frappe coffee" which is made by vigorously blending instant coffee, water and sugar, and is then diluted with water, milk and ice cubes. NEver thought that a far-away Asian country would have basically the same idea
This made me chuckle I first made this coffee with a random brand of instant coffee and then found cafe bustelo. I find bustelo is way better and actually froths up much faster I also use vanilla almond milk(I can't do the whole lactose thing) for extra flavor.
Hahahaha this is awesome! The famous Alton Brown getting into the internet craze in this quarantine.
