If you’ve been spending a lot of time on social media recently, you’ve probably come across photos or videos of Dalgona coffee. Originating in South Korea, Dalgona coffee has quickly become the newest internet phenomenon. You might know Dalgona coffee by other names such as whipped coffee, cloud coffee, or even quarantine coffee. But what exactly is it, and why have people become so fascinated by this drink?

Dalgona coffee is made by combining equal parts of instant coffee, sugar, and hot water—two tablespoons of each. Use a frother or a hand mixer to whip these ingredients until they form a foamy, whipped consistency. Then, simply top a cup of milk (or your favorite milk alternative) with the whipped coffee mixture, and voila! You’ve got your Dalgona coffee.

Prefer your coffee iced? Use cold milk and toss in a couple of ice cubes. If you like it warm, heat up your milk before adding the whipped coffee. The final result is a fancy-looking coffee that’s surprisingly quick and easy to make. And it’s not just about the looks—it tastes pretty great too! Curious to see the recipe in action? Check out the video below.

So, are you ready to join this viral coffee trend? Or are you happy to stick with your good old plain black coffee? The choice is yours, but it’s always fun to experiment with something new—especially when we’re spending more time at home and looking for activities to break the monotony. Enjoy your coffee adventure!
