Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- Ice cubes (optional)
- Cocoa powder or cinnamon (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of instant coffee, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of hot water. Ensure the water is hot enough to dissolve the coffee and sugar, but not boiling.
- Using a hand mixer or a whisk, whip the mixture. If using a hand mixer, set it to medium speed. If whisking by hand, be prepared for a workout! Whip until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and forms stiff peaks (about 2-5 minutes with a hand mixer, longer by hand).
- Once the mixture is fluffy and creamy, set it aside.
- In a glass, pour in 1 cup of milk (any type you prefer: whole, skim, almond, oat, or soy).
- For iced Dalgona coffee, add a few ice cubes to the glass before pouring in the milk. For a warm version, heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until warm but not boiling, or use a microwave in 30-second intervals.
- Spoon the whipped coffee mixture on top of the milk, using a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread it out.
- Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of cocoa powder or cinnamon on top for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Before sipping, gently stir the drink to mix the whipped coffee with the milk, creating a creamy coffee delight.
- Appreciate the beautiful layers of coffee and milk before diving in.
- Enjoy the rich, creamy texture of the whipped coffee combined with the smoothness of the milk.
- For added flavor, consider adding flavored syrups like vanilla or caramel to the milk before adding the whipped coffee.
- Experiment with different types of milk for unique flavors.
- If you have leftover whipped coffee mixture, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to enjoy another cup, simply spoon it over fresh milk.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugar.
- For a vegan option, use non-dairy milk and ensure the instant coffee is vegan-friendly.
- Feel free to customize with flavored syrups or different spices for a unique twist.
