Ingredients

Whipped Coffee Foam

  • 2 teaspoons instant coffee
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons water

To Serve

  • Milk or plant-based milk, as desired
  • Ice cubes, as needed

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the instant coffee, granulated sugar, and water into a mixing container or bowl suitable for an electric mixer.
  2. Whip Coffee Mixture: Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on high speed for 1-2 minutes until it transforms into a smooth, thick, and firm coffee foam with stiff peaks.
  3. Prepare Glass: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes then pour your choice of milk or plant-based milk over the ice to about three-quarters full.
  4. Assemble and Serve: Spoon the whipped coffee foam gently on top of the milk, creating a layered look. Stir before drinking if desired and enjoy your refreshing dalgona iced coffee.

Notes

  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugar to taste.
  • Use cold milk and plenty of ice cubes for best refreshment.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or soy milk.
  • The whipping process can be done by hand using a whisk but will take longer than using an electric mixer.
  • To make it less sweet, reduce the sugar quantity accordingly.
