Total time: 10 min
Yield: 1
Cuisine: Korea
Ingredients: 2 tablespoon instant coffee; 2 tablespoon sugar; 2 tablespoon hot water; 1 cup milk; optional ice

Korea

Whipped coffee made from instant coffee, sugar and hot water creates a light caramel foam that is placed on top of cold or warm milk. The drink resembles the Korean candy “dalgona” and has a delicate aroma.

Ingredients

2 tablespoon instant coffee
2 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoon hot water
1 cup milk
optional ice

Steps

In a large bowl add instant coffee, sugar and hot water.
Whisk with a hand mixer (start on low speed, then increase) until a light caramel‑colored thick airy foam forms (about 3–4 minutes).
If needed, use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl so the mixture whips evenly.
Pour about two‑thirds to three‑quarters of a cup of milk into a glass, add ice cubes if you want a cold drink.
Gently spoon the coffee foam on top. If desired, sprinkle broken dalgona candy pieces over it.
