Dalgona Coffee: the IT-drink

The trending drink that can make anyone feel like a barista!

If you’ve been on social media in the last month, which most likely you have, you have probably come across the latest craze known as Dalgona Coffee, or cloud coffee. Its light fluffy texture and light brown color makes it very aesthetically appealing.

Dalgona Coffee is not a new recipe, but it’s been made very popular recently (probably because we’re all looking for anything to do). And even though there are several posts out about it, I just wanted to make record of when I jumped on the bandwagon. lol

So how exactly do you make this drink? The best way to remember the recipe is 2-2-2. To make the whipped coffee, you put two tablespoons of instant coffee, two tablespoons of granulated sugar, and two tablespoons of hot water in a bowl. Using a hand mixer, whip until it’s creamy. I like to whip it until a few small peaks form so when you lift the beaters or whisk from the bowl, you can turn it upside down and some of the whipped coffee will remain.

I like topping on cold milk (i put some ice cubes in the milk this weekend which was nice too). You can top on hot milk too, but i prefer cold. Some top the whipped coffee with sprinkles of coffee powder, cocoa, or even crumbled cookies/biscuits. I tried a couple toppings, but really prefer it plain with just the whipped coffee and milk. Once it’s made, stir the whipped coffee into the milk with a spoon and drink.

When my hubby brought this trending coffee to my attention, I first was like ‘yeah, ok…we can do that’. I’m more of a tea drinker so i wasn’t rushing to try at first. But it was SOOO good and definitely woke me up!

This simple treat has made weekend mornings at home feel a little more luxurious. I mean, I won’t be heading to a cafe or spa for awhile so i’ll take it! Hope you enjoy it too!

Thanks as always for reading! Hope you are all staying safe and healthy.
