Notes
If you are heating milk in a pan (instead of a microwave), start by putting milk to heat up in a saucepan over medium high heat while you beat/whip the coffee. This will save you some time.
Do not add too much water to beat/whip the coffee.If the mixture gets too liquidy, it's a point of no return and you will not be able to attain that peanut butter like creaminess.
If you make a bigger batch, the whipped coffee mix can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Give it a good mix before using.
I highly recommend frothing the milk.
In India, this coffee is usually sprinkled with some chocolate or cocoa powder. Use milk of your choice.
Can be made into iced coffee
