Dalgona Coffee

My son made this South Korean treat. Dalgona means honeycomb toffee and it's not surprising as this coffee has a cinder toffee... sponge toffee, burnt caramel taste. With three simple ingredients you can have a delightfully sweet drink. It all comes down to equal parts and using a hand held mixer is a must to create the dreamy pale frothiness of Dalgona.     

Dalgona Coffee

---------------------------------------------------------

2 tablespoon caster sugar

2 tablespoons Instant Coffee

2 tablespoons hot boiling water

milk

ice cubes

In a bowl, add the sugar and instant coffee. Whisk to combine. Add the hot boiling water and using a hand held mixer whip until light and fluffy, approximately 5 minutes. The coffee mixture should be a light caramel colour. 

Pour milk into a glass with ice cubes. Spoon the fluffy coffee mixture on top of the milk, it should float. After a few minutes, once the coffee starts to sink towards the bottom of the glass, gently stir to combine the coffee mixture and milk.  

Hope everyone had a nice weekend. - JD
