Dalgona coffee is a very delicious drink made by whipping equal parts of instant coffee powder, sugar, and hot water. These ingredients are whipped until the coffee takes on a creamy texture, and in the end, the whipped coffee is added to warm or cold milk. Dalgona coffee is typically decorated with coffee powder, cocoa powder, crushed biscuits, and honey. It's not possible to make Dalgona coffee using ground coffee beans; it's the instant coffee that creates the dense, foam-like layer. This is largely due to the process of drying the coffee beans.
Dalgona coffee gained popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic through social media, when people in lockdown began making whipped coffee without using any electric devices, doing it manually instead. The name of this delicious drink is derived from "Dalgona," a Korean sugar candy. The appearance and taste of this coffee are quite similar to Dalgona candy, though Dalgona is not actually used in making this drink.
Making Dalgona coffee is very simple, and you can prepare it at home with an electric whisk or even without one. This drink can be served both hot and cold, and to make it, you'll need only four ingredients: milk, sugar, instant coffee, and water.

Ingredients for making Dalgona Coffee
2 tablespoons instant coffee
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons boiling water
1 cup milk
Ice cubes as needed
How to make homemade Dalgona Coffee
First, place the instant coffee, sugar, and boiling water into a bowl and whisk for a few minutes until a creamy, light texture forms. You can also use a manual whisk and stir the mixture for 10 minutes until it becomes thick and light.
You can also use a French press to achieve the creamy texture, but an electric or coffee whisk is a better option. Pour cold milk into a glass, add some ice cubes, and top it with the creamy coffee mixture, then stir and serve.
If you prefer this drink hot, warm the milk in a milk pan, and if desired, use a French press to froth the milk. Pour it into a glass and add the creamy coffee mixture on top. This drink can be an excellent choice for both caffeine and hydration during the summer.

Ingredients for the second method of making Dalgona Coffee
1 tablespoon instant coffee
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon hot water
3/4 cup or 1 cup warm milk
How to make Dalgona Coffee (Second Method)
