Whipping up a frappe
The Korean coffee drink, Dalgona Coffee seems to be all over the internet at the moment. It’s like an inverted cappuccino with frothy coffee instead of frothy milk. Its extremely sweet and far too easy to drink, so watch out you don’t get addicted to them.
What is Dalgona coffee
Dalgona coffee is a drink which is made by whipping equal proportions of instant coffee, sugar and hot water until it becomes creamy and a little stiff This “whipped cream” is then added to cold or hot milk. Seemingly, the drink became famous due to South Korean actor Jung Il-woo who visited Macau and was served a similar drink reminding him of “dalgona“, a type of Korean honeycomb toffee. Just in case there isn’t enough sugar in this drink for you (!!!) you can add some crumbled Dalgona (puff) candy to the top.
