Life Begins After Coffee
Quarantine has most of us trying everything. If you’ve given up attempting to learn a viral TikTok dance, you can shift back to the culinary world. We have a new sensation in town, the dalgona coffee.
The wildly popular drink is inspired by a South Korean candy of the same name, a sweet toffee that boasts a spongy texture and bears a similar list of ingredients.
With restaurants and bars closed due to the COVID 19, this is a new way to make your quarantine exciting. Learn a new way to get your coffee fix without having to venture outdoors. And while it’s certainly easy to make yourself a mug of drip coffee at home, here are a few steps to making yourself dalgona coffee which is basically whipped coffee.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of instant coffee
- 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
- Hot water
- Milk
Method
- Add the instant coffee, sugar and hot water to a bowl
- Whisk vigorously until the mixture becomes super thick – it should hold a similar consistency to whipped cream with stiff peaks and turns a subtle golden brown color.
- Pour milk into a glass outfitted with ice cubes, then scoop the pillowy mixture on top of the cold milk, or mix the two parts together if you’re looking for more of a latte situation.
