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
- Gather Your Ingredients: Measure out 2 tablespoons each of instant coffee, granulated sugar, and hot water.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, add the instant coffee, sugar, and hot water. Ensure the water is hot but not boiling.
- Whisking: Whisk the mixture vigorously for about 2-4 minutes until it becomes thick, creamy, and light in color, forming stiff peaks.
- Check Consistency: The mixture should be glossy and hold its shape. If its still runny, continue whisking until you reach the desired consistency.
- Choose Your Milk: Decide on the type of milk you want to use (dairy, almond, oat, etc.).
- Heat the Milk (Optional): For hot Dalgona coffee, heat the milk in a saucepan until warm but not boiling. For iced coffee, skip this step and use cold milk.
- Prepare Your Glass: For iced coffee, fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the cold milk over it. For hot coffee, pour the warm milk into a mug.
- Layering the Coffee: Spoon the whipped coffee mixture over the milk, spreading it gently to create a layer on top.
- Garnishing (Optional): Sprinkle cocoa powder or cinnamon on top for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Mixing It Up: Stir the whipped coffee into the milk before enjoying.
- Taste Test: Appreciate the layers before taking your first sip.
- Adjusting Sweetness: Adjust the milk-to-coffee ratio or add more sugar to taste.
- Experimenting with Flavors: Try adding vanilla extract or caramel syrup for a twist.
- Storing: Store any leftover whipped coffee mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Whisk before using again.
Notes
- For a vegan option, use non-dairy milk such as almond, soy, or oat milk.
- Adjust the sweetness according to your preference by varying the amount of sugar.
- Feel free to experiment with different flavors and toppings to customize your Dalgona coffee experience.
