Hey Lykkers, let’s talk coffee — not just any coffee though. I’m talking about that fancy-looking, super creamy, whipped coffee that’s been floating around the internet for a while now. You know the one. It looks like something you’d get at a café but somehow it’s made with instant coffee and three basic ingredients.


Yep, we’re making Dalgona Coffee today. And honestly? It’s easier than it looks. You don’t need a barista course or anything — just a bowl, a whisk (or a spoon and some determination), and about five minutes.


So, What is Dalgona Coffee?


Dalgona Coffee is basically your regular cup of coffee... but way cooler. You whip together instant coffee, sugar, and hot water until it turns into this fluffy, mousse-like cloud, then spoon it over a glass of milk.


That’s it. It’s smooth, a little sweet, and gives you that strong coffee flavor with a fun texture. It’s part drink, part dessert, and 100% satisfying.


Here’s What You Need (for one serving)


- 2 tablespoons instant coffee


- 2 tablespoons sugar (white or brown — whatever you’ve got)


- 2 tablespoons hot water


- 1 cup milk (any kind — oat, almond, dairy, all good)


- Ice (if you’re going iced)


That’s it. Just five things, and one of them is water.


How to Make It — No Fancy Stuff Needed


Step 1: Mix the basics


Grab a bowl and add your instant coffee, sugar, and hot water — equal parts. Use a spoon to mix it a bit before you start whisking.


Step 2: Whip it


Now whisk like your life depends on it (or at least like you want strong coffee). You can use a hand whisk, a milk frother, or an electric mixer. The goal is to get it nice and thick — kind of like whipped cream. If you’re doing it by hand, it might take a little longer, but it’s worth the arm workout.


Step 3: Build your drink


Fill a glass with ice and pour in your milk. Then, spoon that whipped coffee right on top. You’ll feel like a pro when you see how pretty it looks.


Step 4: Stir (or don’t)


You can mix it up if you want that even flavor or just sip through the foam if you're feeling fancy. Either way, it's good.


Want to Switch It Up?


Here are a few fun twists:


- Add a drop of vanilla extract to your milk


- Sprinkle cinnamon or cocoa powder on top


- Use chocolate milk instead of regular milk for a mini mocha


Seriously, once you start playing around with it, you’ll find your perfect combo.


Before You Go...


Dalgona Coffee isn’t just a drink — it’s a little moment of joy. Whether you’re making it on a lazy weekend morning or trying to impress your group chat with your new kitchen skills, it always hits the spot.


So go on, give it a try, and let me know how it turns out. I swear it’s one of those simple pleasures that makes your day just a bit better.
