Dalgona Coffee
Inspired by a South Korean candy, videos of home cooks and food bloggers spooning thick coffee into milk have caught everyone's eyes on social media. The famous Dalgona coffee is made of four ingredients: instant coffee, sugar, hot water and milk. These ingredients are made into two layers, one of milk and one of a fluffy coffee mixture floating atop.
How to make it? The simplest version requires equal measurements of instant coffee, sugar and hot water. For one serving, use roughly two tablespoons of each. You will need to whip the coffee, sugar and water by hand or with a mixer. The coffee will gradually become thicker and lighter in colour. Continue whipping until the coffee reaches the texture of cream. Next, pour cold milk into a glass and add ice cubes. Finally, spoon the whipped coffee into the glass on top of the milk, and voila.
