Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons hot water
  • 1 cup milk regular or non-dairy
  • Optional: Vanilla or hazelnut extract for extra flavor

Method
 

  1. Whip the Coffee Mixture: In a large bowl, combine instant coffee, sugar, and hot water. Use a hand mixer or whisk to whip the mixture until it becomes thick, creamy, and foamy. This should take about 5 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Milk: Pour your milk into a separate glass.
  3. Top the Milk with Whipped Coffee: Spoon the whipped coffee mixture on top of the milk. It should sit beautifully on the surface.
  4. Optional Flavoring: Add a dash of vanilla or hazelnut extract for an extra burst of flavor if desired.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Mix it all together or enjoy the layered effect as it is.

Notes

You can substitute regular milk with almond, soy, or oat milk for a non-dairy version. Experiment with flavoring by adding extracts like vanilla or hazelnut. You can also try sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. The key to great Dalgona Coffee is whipping the mixture until it's thick and creamy. A hand mixer works best, but a whisk will do if you're up for a bit of a workout.
