Dalgona coffee, famously known as 'Whipped Coffee,' became a global obsession when everyone was stuck at home looking for cafe-quality drinks they could make in their own kitchens.

It requires only three ingredients in equal parts: instant coffee, sugar, and hot water. When whipped together, the mixture traps air and transforms from a dark liquid into a thick, golden, marshmallow-like foam that sits beautifully on top of a glass of iced milk.

Ingredients You Need

• 2 tbsp instant coffee (do not use ground coffee beans)
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp boiling water
• 1 cup cold milk (dairy or oat)
• Ice cubes

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the instant coffee, granulated sugar, and boiling hot water.

2. Using a hand mixer or a milk frother, whip the mixture on high speed for 3 to 5 minutes. The mixture will lighten in color and slowly thicken.

3. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form and the texture resembles thick whipped cream.

4. Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour in the cold milk, leaving some room at the top.

5. Use a spoon to dollop the thick coffee foam onto the top of the iced milk. Stir well before drinking.
