DAlgona Coffee

 

Dalgona is a Korean whipped coffee beverage that gained global popularity, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is made by whipping together equal parts of instant coffee, sugar, and hot water until it becomes light and frothy. This whipped mixture is then spooned over a glass of milk (hot or cold), creating a visually appealing drink with a creamy coffee topping. The name “dalgona” comes from a type of Korean candy that has a similar texture and appearance. The drink is known for its rich flavor and is often enjoyed by coffee lovers looking for a creative and visually striking way to prepare and serve coffee at home.
