Description

Rich, frothy Dalgona coffee blends Korean street treat magic with whipped espresso perfection. Silky smooth peaks of coffee foam crown cold milk, creating an Instagram-worthy beverage that delivers luxurious caffeine comfort with each dreamy sip.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) instant coffee
  • 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) hot water

Liquid Base:

  • 1 cup (240 milliliters) milk

Optional Garnish:

  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Gather a medium-sized mixing vessel and combine the granulated coffee, sweet crystals, and steaming liquid.
  2. Employ an electric whisk or manual utensil to aggressively whip the concoction, transforming it into a cloud-like, caramel-hued foam with rigid, standing peaks.
  3. Select a tall transparent drinking receptacle and fill it midway with chilled dairy liquid, optionally adding frozen water cubes for extra refreshment.
  4. Delicately transfer the voluminous, amber-tinted coffee cream atop the milk’s surface, allowing it to float majestically.
  5. Before consuming, gently fold the frothy coffee layer into the milk, creating a marbled, swirling visual effect that blends the contrasting textures and flavors.

Notes

  • Opt for high-quality instant coffee to ensure a rich, smooth flavor that elevates the entire drink.
  • Ensure water is hot but not boiling to help the coffee dissolve and whip up perfectly without burning.
  • Use equal parts instant coffee, sugar, and hot water for the most stable and fluffy whipped topping.
  • Experiment with alternative milk options like almond, oat, or coconut milk for dietary preferences or unique taste profiles.
