Can I Add Milk?

How to Store
This coffee is best enjoyed immediately after shaking , while it’s cold and frothy. If needed, you can keep it in the refrigerator for a few hours, but the foam will gradually disappear.
How to Freeze
You can freeze the coffee-filled bottle in advance and keep it ready in the freezer for several days. Just remember to let the bottle sit at room temperature briefly before adding warm coffee to avoid thermal shock.

How To Make It At Home
Start by brewing the coffee using a moka pot. If you like your coffee sweet, stir in some sugar while it’s still warm.
Pour the coffee into a borosilicate glass bottle, place it horizontally, and transfer it to the freezer until the coffee inside is completely frozen.
Before using, let the bottle sit outside the freezer for about 5–10 minutes. This step is important to avoid sudden temperature changes.
Prepare another small amount of warm coffee—make sure it’s warm or lukewarm, never boiling hot—then pour it into the bottle over the frozen coffee.
Close the bottle tightly and shake vigorously for a few moments. As the frozen coffee mixes with the fresh coffee, the texture will become smooth, creamy, and beautifully frothy.
Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately—cold, intense, and incredibly refreshing.
