Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules (not soluble coffee)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons hot water
  • 1 cup cold milk (dairy or non-dairy of your choice)
  • Ice cubes (optional)

Equipment

  • medium-sized mixing bowl
  • Whisk or electric hand mixer
  • Glass

Method
 

  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the instant coffee granules, granulated sugar, and hot water.
    2 tablespoons instant coffee granules (not soluble coffee), 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons hot water
  2. Using a whisk or an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed, vigorously whip the coffee mixture. Continue whisking until the mixture becomes thick, glossy, and forms stiff peaks, resembling a light brown meringue. This process can take anywhere from 3 to 7 minutes depending on your method. The key is to achieve a stable foam that holds its shape.
  3. Fill a glass with ice cubes if desired. Pour the cold milk over the ice.
    1 cup cold milk (dairy or non-dairy of your choice), Ice cubes
  4. Gently spoon the whipped coffee foam on top of the milk, creating a beautiful, fluffy layer.
  5. Stir the coffee foam into the milk before drinking for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

The whipped coffee foam for Dalgona coffee is best enjoyed immediately after preparation, as it is most stable and airy when freshly whipped.
