Why Coffee with Milk?

Adding milk to coffee produces a smooth, creamy texture that balances the intense tastes of the coffee.  It's a versatile drink that can be tailored to your preferences, whether you want a frothy latte or a basic milky brew.  Greenbrrew's premium instant coffee delivers café-quality results at home in only a few minutes.

What You’ll Need?

• Coffee: Greenbrrew instant coffee or ground coffee for a rich, aromatic base.

• Milk: Whole, skim, or plant-based milk (like almond, oat, or soy) based on your preference.

• Water: Fresh, filtered water for brewing.

• Sweetener (optional): Sugar, honey, or a sugar-free alternative.

• Equipment: A kettle or saucepan, a cup, a spoon, and a milk frother (optional for frothy textures).

Step-by-Step Guide to Making Coffee with Milk

• Choose Your Coffee: Begin with a high-quality coffee, such as Greenbrrew instant coffee, which is noted for its rich flavor and convenience of use.  If you're using ground coffee, use a medium roast to match the creamy milk.

• Boil Water: Heat fresh water to just below boiling (195-205°F/90-96°C). Overboiling can burn the coffee, ruining its flavor. Allow your kettle to sit for 30 seconds after it has boiled.

• Prepare the Coffee Base

• For Instant Coffee: Add 1–2 teaspoons of Greenbrrew instant coffee to a cup. Pour in 6–8 ounces of hot water and stir until fully dissolved.

• For Ground Coffee: Use a French press or drip coffee maker. Add 1–2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of water, brew, and pour into a cup.

• Heat the Milk: Warm 4–6 ounces of milk in a saucepan over medium heat or use a microwave-safe container for 30–60 seconds. Avoid boiling the milk to preserve its sweetness. For a café-style touch, froth the milk using a handheld frother or steam wand for a velvety texture.

• Combine Coffee and Milk: Throw the warm milk into your mug of coffee and give it a gentle stir. The quantities here are to taste: A little more milk if you like a creamier, less coffee-heavy drink; a little less if you want something with more of a coffee flavor. If you like it sweet, add a sweetener of your choice and mix until smooth.

• Customize Your Drink: Get creative! If you want to get fancy, you can throw in some cinnamon, cocoa powder, or vanilla extract. Cover with frothy milk or whipped cream for a latte experience..

Tips for the Perfect Coffee with Milk

• Experiment with Milk Types: Flavors. You can introduce unique flavors by using plant-based milks, such as oat or almond. Whole milk provides a more in-depth flavor, and skim makes it light.

• Control the Temperature: Or you can add the milk to a warm mixture, as long as you don’t overheat it, over 150 degrees, and the milk can curdle or lose its sweetness.

• Use Fresh Coffee: Greenbrrew’s instant coffee guarantees taste; however, make sure to look up the expiration date for freshness.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using Cold Milk: Cold milk can also cool down your coffee too fast, shattering the illusion. Always warm it first.

• Overloading Sweetener: Add sweetener in small quantities at a time so you don’t overdo the natural taste of the coffee.

• Poor Coffee-to-Milk Ratio: And too much milk can dilute the coffee’s flavor. Begin with a 2:1 coffee-to-milk ratio, adjusting as necessary.
