Step-by-Step Preparation:
Gather Your Ingredients: Before you begin, ensure to have all the necessary ingredients and equipment ready. It’s essential to use instant coffee for this recipe, as regular ground coffee won’t produce the same frothy texture.
Mix Coffee, Sugar, and Hot Water: Take the mixing bowl, combine the instant coffee, sugar, and hot water. Use equal parts of each ingredient (2 tablespoons) for a single serving. You can adjust the quantities based on your taste preferences.
Whisk Vigorously: Now, it’s time to whip the mixture. You can use a hand whisk, a fork, or a hand mixer for this step. Begin whisking vigorously in a circular motion, ensuring that you incorporate as much air as possible. As you continue to whisk, the mixture will gradually change in color and become lighter.
Continue Whisking Until Stiff Peaks Form: Keep whisking until the mixture reaches a consistency where it forms stiff peaks. This can take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your whisking technique and equipment. The end result should be a thick and creamy coffee foam.
Prepare Your Glass: If you want to make an iced Dalgona coffee, fill your serving glass with ice cubes. For a hot version, skip the ice.
Pour Milk: Carefully pour your choice of milk into the glass, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
Top with Dalgona Coffee: Spoon the whipped coffee mixture over the milk gently. You can create artistic swirls or simply plop it on top.
Optional Garnish: If desired, dust your Dalgona coffee with a sprinkle of cocoa powder for an extra layer of flavor and a beautiful presentation.
Stir Before Sipping: Before you take your first sip, give the Dalgona coffee a good stir to combine the creamy coffee foam with the milk. This creates a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
