Bethenny Frankel’s Secret for Delicious Instant Iced Coffee Is a Milk Frother Like This One That’s on Sale for $8

Bethenny Frankel is in her barista era, whipping up caffeinated concoctions on TikTok in mere seconds with a few basic tools and ingredients: instant coffee, tap water, and a handheld milk frother.

The RHONY star has posted several videos in the past few weeks making indulgent drinks using instant coffees, including Folgers Classic Roast, Maxwell House Original Roast, and Nescafé Ice Roast. She typically finishes her creations off with a splash of creamer and a packet of sweetener before taking a sip and surprising herself with the results every time.

While the coffee she uses may change, Frankel’s secret weapon for making her iced coffees is always a basic battery-operated milk frother. The tool’s rapid spinning whips the instant coffee into a foam, leading to a drink that’s more visually appealing (and apparently tastier) than the flat drinks you get by just stirring instant grounds in water with a spoon.

Frankel said she’s “never, ever, ever getting coffee out again” since discovering this trick. If you want to give it a try for yourself, one of our favorite milk frothers is currently just $8 at Amazon.

PowerLix Handheld Milk Frother

When we tested 26 milk frothers to find the best ones, this PowerLix model earned our award for the best value. At full price, our testers loved what it has to offer, which makes it a no-brainer at nearly 50 percent off. You’ll get a battery-powered milk frother, a countertop stand, a stainless steel milk pitcher, and some stencils for making latte art.

Our testers found this frother worked best in thinner liquids, including milk and oat milk. That would also include the iced coffees Frankel has been making, since they’re just made of water and instant coffee. We also liked it as a tool for beginners who are new to making fancy coffee drinks at home because of its ease of use and all-in-one packaging. You simply dip the whisk into soapy water and run it to clean the machine after each use.

More than 5,000 people have bought one in the past month at Amazon, and the milk frother has racked up more than 67,000 five-star ratings so far. “This has a powerful little motor,” one shopper wrote. “It makes a nice thick foam and is very easy to clean.” Another reviewer said it’s great for mixing nutritional powders into your drinks. “If you want a nice frothy milk on top of your coffee, this is for you,” they added.

If Bethenny Frankel has inspired you to try making your own quick iced coffees, you can get the PowerLix Handheld Milk Frother for just $8 while this deal lasts. Since fall is just about here, maybe try it out with pumpkin spice instant coffee to start each morning with a copycat PSL.
