People also ask
Can I use ground coffee instead of instant?
Instant is better because it dissolves completely in the milk, but brewed coffee works if you dissolve it thoroughly.
Can I add cream?
Certainly — whipped cream or ashta gives a softer, richer result.
Is it suitable for children?
Because of the coffee, it's better for adults — or swap the coffee for cocoa if you're making it for children.
