☕ Dalgona Coffee

A Cloud in Your Cup

There’s something magical about a drink that looks like dessert and feels like a warm hug. Dalgona Coffee, the velvety whipped coffee that took the internet by storm, is more than just a trend — it’s a home café classic that’s here to stay. Whether it’s a slow Sunday morning or a midday pick-me-up, this easy yet satisfying drink brings joy in every swirl.

✨ What You’ll Need

  • 2 tbsp instant coffee

  • 2 tbsp sugar

  • 2 tbsp hot water

  • 1 cup milk (any kind you like — dairy or plant-based)

  • Ice (optional, for iced version)

🍯 Optional Toppings (for a café touch)

  • A pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder

  • Honey or caramel drizzle

  • Crushed cookies or chocolate shavings

🌀 How to Make It

  1. Whip It Good
    In a medium bowl, combine the instant coffee, sugar, and hot water. Using a hand whisk, electric mixer, or even a frother, whip until it becomes thick, creamy, and holds soft peaks. It usually takes 2–5 minutes depending on the tool you use.

  2. Prepare Your Base
    Fill a glass with your milk of choice. You can keep it cold with ice or warm it gently for a cozier feel — totally up to your mood.

  3. Top with the Magic
    Spoon the whipped coffee mixture over the milk. Watch as it floats like a coffee cloud.

  4. Final Touches (Optional but Recommended!)
    Dust with cinnamon, swirl in honey, or add a touch of sweetness with a caramel drizzle. Make it yours.

💡 Café Tips

  • For a stronger flavor, use dark roast instant coffee.

  • Adjust sugar to your taste — less if you prefer it more bitter.

  • Want a twist? Add a drop of vanilla or a pinch of sea salt for depth.

☁️ Sip and Smile

Take a photo (because, let’s be honest, it’s that pretty), give it a little stir, and enjoy. It’s more than just a coffee — it’s a moment of calm, whipped by hand and made with love.
