Quarantine Coffee: Dalgona

Dalgona Coffee

“Dalgona coffee is a beverage made by whipping instant coffee, sugar and water until it becomes creamy and then adding it to chilled milk.”

It is a Korean coffee and popularized by TikTok app users while on quarantine. It went viral and everyone is doing it during corona virus lock downs.

It’s great to see people trying to make and learn something new and fun during this crisis.

I got curious so I tried it at home. If you haven’t try it yet, feel free to use this recipe. 🙂

What you need:

• 2 tbsp instant coffee
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp hot water
• 1 cup of Milk (I used Almond Milk)
• Ice
• Optional : 1tsp Cacao (mocha)

• Electric mixer or regular whisk

Procedure:

1. Mix the instant coffee, brown sugar and hot water using a regular whisk or an electric mixer until it becomes light brownish and thick. Set aside
2. Pour milk in a mug or cup with ice. (you can also serve it hot)
3. Pour the foam mixture on top of the milk.
4. Serve it! Enjoy

If you want mocha taste, just add cocoa or any chocolate powder to the mixture.

Tips

If you are making for one portion, you mix the ingredients for 10 or more minutes to get the thickness you desired.

I find it easier when I make for three portion, I just multiplied them by 3. And I only mixed it for 3 minutes.

Enjoy your quarantine drink! 🙂

Stay safe, everyone. God bless you all.
