It is important to note that the size of the ingredients given above is for a single serving of dalgona coffee. Therefore, if you want to make more coffee, you have to adjust the size of the ingredients accordingly.

Instructions
 

Making dalgona coffee at home is quite straightforward as long as you have all the ingredients available. Follow the steps below to make dalgona coffee at home;

  • Place the two tablespoons of sugar, instant coffee, and hot water in a mixing bowl.
  • Wash the mixture vigorously using a whisk or a hand mixer until it gains a frothy and creamy thick consistency.
  • Continue whipping the mixture until it achieves a smooth texture and the frothiness and fluffiness can hold themselves.
  • Pour your cup of milk into a glass or mug (whichever you prefer), gently scoop the mixture and put it on top of the milk for your beverage to form two layers. I would recommend you use a glass when serving this beverage so that you can enjoy the aesthetically pleasing two-layer beverage while pondering on this tasty drink.
  • You can garnish your dalgona coffee with your favorite sprinkles or toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

There are several ways you can customize your dalgona coffee when making it at home.First, you need to know that you are not restricted on which milk type to use. If you are a vegan or simply want a healthier beverage with fewer calories, consider using plant-based milk like soy, almond, or even coconut milk.
    • You can use ground coffee if you do not have dalgona instant coffee at home. However, this will take you long to whip for it to have a fluffy and smooth texture.
    • Furthermore, two tablespoons of sugar are quite high, especially for someone with an underlying condition like diabetes or even obesity. Therefore, you can substitute the sugar with a healthy sweetener like coconut sugar or stevia.
    • You can also decide to have your cup of dalgona coffee iced by simply serving the milk over ice before adding the mixture of whipped cream and sugar.
