Dalgona Coffee - Step by step

We've been seeing a new kind of coffee drink all over our social media feeds lately. Called dalgona coffee, the beverage involves milk topped with a foam made with coffee and sugar-somewhat like a reverse cappuccino. It's especially popular on TikTok, where you'll find users from all over the world posting their own attempts at making it.

The drink itself has origins from India, Pakistan, and Macau, where it is also known as whipped coffee or beaten coffee. But its surge in popularity happened when it appeared on a Korean TV show called Pyunstorang in January. In it, actor Jung Il-Woo traveled to Macau, tried the drink, and gave it the nickname dalgona for its resemblance to the traditional Korean sponge candy of the same name. It's since caught the eye of TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram users the world over, and-perhaps with almost everybody at home now-it's gone especially viral these past few days. The best part is, it's relatively easy to whip up in your own kitchen. I tried it in home and it came out rather nicely. Here is how I did it.

Preparation Time: - 5 min

Cooking Time: - 5 min

Servings: - 2~4 persons

 

Ingredients:-

1. 2 tbsp Instant coffee or espresso powder
2. 2 tbsp Sugar
3. 2 tbsp very hot water
4. 2 cup or 400ml milk
5. 1 tsp Chocolate syrup (optional)

Preparation: -

1. Heat 2 tbsp water near boiling point.
2. Add Instant coffee powder and sugar to it.
3. Whisk them for about 5 minutes to make a thick mixture. You can use a hand whisk or use an electric hand-held mixer, whip the coffee mixture until it is light brown, fluffy and holds stiff peaks when the whisk is removed.
4. Take two large glasses and spread little chocolate syrup on the sides of the glass and little bit on the bottom. This is totally optional. I like it but it may not be very popular option.
5. Heat the milk, if desired, and divide between these two glasses. Spoon dollops of the frothed coffee mixture on top and smooth out with a spoon.
6. If you want to make the coffee cold you can add a few ice cubes before pouring the milk.

Please note:-

1. Always use instant coffee powder. This recipe will not work with others.
2. Whisk it continuously otherwise it can take you more than 15 minutes to make this cold coffee.
3. Use hot water and not cold water to make this.

Now your Dalgona coffee is ready to serve. This coffee is served by adding the thick coffee mixture on top of the milk and ice but to drink this coffee you have to mix it well until everything combines. Enjoy…
