Vanilla Ness

To create a delicious and refreshing drink, start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. You will need 200 ml of milk, 100 ml of water, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons of sugar, a teaspoon of vanilla essence, and a pinch of salt. These ingredients will combine to create a creamy and flavorful mixture.

The first step in preparing this drink is to put all the ingredients in a blender. Make sure to add the liquids first: the milk and water, followed by the cocoa, sugar, vanilla essence, and salt. They will blend perfectly, and the texture will become smooth. If you do not have a blender, a hand mixer will work just as well. Blending should take about 1-2 minutes until you achieve a fine, lump-free composition.

Once you have the desired mixture, choose an elegant glass in which to pour the drink. The glass should be large enough to add frothed milk later. Pour the blender mixture into the glass, leaving a little space at the top for the frothed milk. Now, let’s focus on the decoration!

In another container, add the remaining milk, about 100 ml, and start the blender to whip it. The process of whipping the milk should be quick to achieve an airy and fluffy foam. This is the secret to an attractive appearance and a pleasant texture. After a few minutes of mixing, you will notice how the milk transforms into a fine foam.

Now that you have the milk foam, carefully pour it over the mixture in the glass, making sure to create a layered effect. You can use a spoon to help guide the frothed milk so that it does not mix immediately with the rest. Finally, sprinkle a little instant coffee on top. This will not only add a slightly bitter flavor but will also provide a pleasant look to the drink.

The finished drink will have a color contrast, from the rich chocolate shades of the cocoa mixture to the pure white of the milk foam and the dark shades of the instant coffee on top. Enjoy this delicacy warm or cold, as you prefer, and savor every sip! It is perfect for an energizing morning or as a refined dessert during an evening with friends.
