Ingredients
Whipped Coffee Mixture
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons hot boiling water
For Serving
- 1.5 cups milk (at room temperature or chilled)
- Ice cubes (as required, optional)
- ¼ teaspoon cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Coffee Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon instant coffee, 3 tablespoons sugar, and 2 tablespoons hot boiling water.
- Whip the Coffee: Using a small whisk, beat the mixture vigorously until it becomes creamy and thick. Alternate between clockwise circular motions and vertical zig-zag motions, tilting the bowl slightly if it is small. This process will take about 3-5 minutes manually.
- Alternative Whipping Methods: To save time and effort, you can use a small blender, mixer-grinder, or handheld electric mixer (used for whipping cream or cake batter) to achieve the same fluffy consistency.
- Prepare Serving Glasses: Add 2 to 3 ice cubes into each mug or glass if desired.
- Add Milk: Pour 1.5 cups of milk evenly divided between the two glasses.
- Top with Whipped Coffee: Spoon the whipped coffee mixture equally over the milk in each glass, creating a distinct frothy layer on top.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle a small pinch of cocoa powder over the coffee foam for added flavor and decoration. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Dalgona Coffee!
Notes
- Use instant coffee powder for the best frothy results; ground coffee will not whip properly.
- Adjust sugar quantity according to your taste preference.
- You can use any type of milk: dairy or plant-based like almond, soy, or oat milk.
- Serve over chilled or room temperature milk based on your preference.
- Dalgona coffee is best consumed immediately to enjoy the fluffy texture before it settles.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and ensure sugar is vegan-friendly.
