The Dalgona coffee has taken the world by storm. Its origin though, is highly debatable. While some feel it was born in the southern Asian country of India (like me), others argue it is a product of the hip South Korean district, Dalgona. Whoever you agree with and whatever you call it, it is an Asian product.
I sat on the 'recipe' for this coffee whip for a while because I didn't want to whisk it by hand, dirty my electric mixer and consume so much sugar. However, the pressure of the internet was too strong and I fumbled.
Here is how I made it:
Add 2tbsp each of instant coffee, brown sugar (I thought it would be healthier) an
d water.
Whip with an electric mixer.
It only took about 30 seconds to reach semi-stiff peaks. I was really impressed and the scientist in me was curious to learn what else is in that instant coffee powder (they say only coffee on the bottle but now I doubt it).
I poured cold almond milk in one glass and cold 1.5% fat cow milk in another (for my dairy consuming friend).
The result: I should have resisted more. I hated it. I also hate the people who call it beat coffee because beat coffee is so much better! However, I am glad I made it for almost free at home rather than pay 10 euros post-corona in a hipster coffee shop.
The positive here is that it does make a pretty picture and I got to use my jelly bottomed glasses!
Do let me know if you liked it or are glad I wrote this post so you could resist.
P.S. It doesn't mix well in the milk either. No matter how much I stirred. And now I have a funny taste in my mouth and the increasing guilt of consuming all that sugar.
