Blog Item 1

Are you looking to recreate the creamy, whipped coffee that took the internet by storm in 2020? Well, you've come to the right place. Our Dalgona Coffee recipe, hailing from South Korea, will guide you through crafting this sweet, frothy delight, perfect for impressing your family, friends, and Instagram followers!

Dalgona Coffee rose to worldwide fame during the COVID-19 lockdowns, largely through social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Named after a popular Korean sugar sweet for its similar taste, this "reverse cappuccino" is made by whipping instant coffee, sugar, and hot water until creamy and topping it over a glass of chilled milk. Despite its fancy appearance, Dalgona Coffee is surprisingly easy to make, requiring just a few simple ingredients.
