Dalgona Coffee has gained popularity due to its delicious creamy and frothy texture, balanced sweetness, and rich coffee flavor. The whipped coffee mixture creates a velvety consistency that blends perfectly with milk, while the addition of granulated sugar provides a pleasant sweetness. With its bold and aromatic coffee taste, Dalgona Coffee offers a delightful combination of flavors. The customizable nature of the drink allows for adjustments to suit individual preferences, making it a refreshing and indulgent treat that can be enjoyed at any time of the day.
Here's a step-by-step recipe for making Dalgona Coffee:
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- Milk (any kind, as per your preference)
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the instant coffee, granulated sugar, and hot water.
- Using an electric hand mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture vigorously. Continue beating until it becomes thick, frothy, and light brown in color. This process can take anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes depending on the equipment used.
- Fill a glass with milk, leaving some room at the top for the whipped coffee mixture. If you prefer your Dalgona Coffee iced, you can also add a few ice cubes to the glass before pouring in the milk.
- Spoon the whipped coffee mixture on top of the milk. You can spoon it in a dollop shape or spread it evenly across the surface—be as creative as you like.
- Once the whipped coffee mixture is added to the glass, you can choose to leave it as is for a layered effect or gently stir it into the milk for a more uniform taste.
- Give it a taste and adjust the sweetness or strength of the coffee by adding more sugar or coffee if desired.
- Your Dalgona Coffee is now ready to be enjoyed! You can use a straw or a spoon to mix the whipped coffee with the milk as you drink it.
Note: Dalgona Coffee is typically served cold, but you can also serve it hot by using warm milk instead of cold milk.
