While there were plenty of trends we’d love to forget from 2020, whipped coffee, or dalgona coffee, is one we’re happy to hold on to. This iced concoction first became a hit in South Korea during the early days of social distancing, offering a simple yet visually appealing way to enjoy coffee at home. If you missed out on the craze last year, it’s not too late to jump on the bandwagon and transform your coffee routine—especially as the weather warms up. You only need five minutes and three ingredients to make this refreshing drink right in your kitchen.
To make your whipped coffee, you’ll need two tablespoons each of instant coffee, sugar, and hot water, along with ice and milk for serving. Mix the coffee, sugar, and water in a bowl and whip it up with a whisk or electric mixer until it’s fluffy, creamy, and turns a caramel color.
Next, prepare your drink by filling a glass with milk and ice. Top it off with a generous scoop of the whipped coffee, and you’ll be transported to a cozy café—or the early days of quarantine. This beverage is packed with caffeine, so feel free to divide the whipped coffee between two glasses or adjust the amount of instant coffee to suit your taste. You can watch the full process in the video below.
You don’t have to compromise on either presentation or quality when crafting coffee beverages at home. Here are some expert tips to help you master the art of being an amateur barista.
