What is dalgona coffee?
Dalgona Coffee, 달고나커피 in Korean, is a whipped iced coffee drink made from equal parts of instant coffee granules, sugar and water.
The unique feature of Dalgona Coffee is the fact that the coffee foams or in this case “whips.” Not only that, but the coffee can stay whipped and maintain its shape, unlike most foam based coffees that lose their bubbles after a few minutes. The reason Dalgona Coffee can achieve that “whipped” effect comes from the combined properties in instant coffee and sugar. Read more about the science behind dalgona coffee here.
