Coffee lovers, you’re gonna instantly fall in love with this recipe!
All around the world, people prefer to drink their coffee a certain way. But admit it, we all fall for the latest barista trends.
One of these trends is the viral whipped Korean coffee, also known as dalgona coffee.
For the newbies in the coffee world, whipped coffee is made by mixing instant coffee with sugar and water. For a perfect dalgona, you then need to spoon over the whipped mixture on a cup of milk of your choice.
This special kind of coffee became so popular thanks to a TikTok video viewed over 10 million times. And if you think making a dalgona is difficult, think twice. It’s actually quite easy to make. Besides, now that we spend most of our time at home, this recipe is the perfect replacement for the fancy coffees we’re used to drinking at our favorite coffee shops.
People are posting tons of photos of their attempts to make themselves a nice cup of dalgona coffee on social media.
In fact, their little experiments look pretty amazing.
The recipe is rather simple.
First, you mix two tablespoons of instant coffee with two tablespoons of sugar. Then, you add about two tablespoons of water and start mixing with a frother or a hand mixer to make a creamy texture. The final step is adding the topping on a cup of milk of your choice. Both hot and cold milk will work just fine. You can even add a few ice cubes if you are an iced-coffee person.
Many YouTube channels have posted easy-to-follow tutorials on how to make this attractive beverage at home.
In only a few minutes you can have the luxury of a barista-looking coffee at home. Just like you’re at Starbucks, but wearing pj’s, sitting on your own comfy couch.
The dalgona coffee trend took over Instagram as well.
One Instagrammer took the challenge of making this lovely-looking whipped coffee a step further. She used the creamy texture as a topping for a chocolate muffin.
Everyone is obsessed with this unique refreshing beverage. Social media is full of posts and pictures of different versions of dalgona.
People are even giving great advice on how to perfect the cream. For instance, Brenda Yim shares that depending on what you use, whether an electric whisk, a frother, or a spoon, it should take 2-10 mins for the mixture to turn a light brown.
Social distancing requires most of us to stay at home during the quarantine. Instead of feeling trapped in our own homes, we could try to make the best of it. Experimenting with a dalgona coffee can turn your living room into a fancy cafe if you have the right mindset.
Dalgona coffee comes from South Korea.
They even have a popular candy known as dalgona or ppogi.
It’s made of heat up sugar, oil, baking soda. They mix this combination until it becomes thick and fluffy. After this, they let it harden and turn into candy.
So, if you’re a coffee-lover, give this one a try, and let us know how it went. You’re absolutely going to love it!
