Ingredients

Instructions

  • Dissolve instant coffee powder in boiling water (or prepare coffee using your favourite alternative method - moka pot, slow drip etc). Add the evaporated milk and condensed milk and mix well.
    3 tsp instant coffee, 1.5 cups boiling water, 4 tbsp evaporated milk, 4 tbsp condensed milk
  • Pour the mixture repeatedly between two jugs, starting slow and small, then increasing speed and height until the coffee becomes creamy and frothy.
  • Pour into a serving mug and enjoy hot, or pour over ice for a refreshing summer drink.

Notes

  • Coffee - For a deeper authentic flavour, try to source Aceh Gayo Arabica Coffee for your beans. Or use Robusta style coffee for a flavour similar to Vietnamese iced coffee.
  • Strength - Feel free to add more or less coffee, or more or less condensed milk, to adjust the strength and sweetness to your taste.
  • Pulling - Carefully increase the height as you pour the tea between the two jugs. This will help your aim get better as you go, but also help the coffee become more and more frothy. 
  • Hot Cups - Before you prepare your kopi tarik, you can carefully swish boiling water into your serving cups, swirl a few times to warm them through, then drain. This will keep your coffee nice and hot!
