Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Whip the Coffee Mixture
In a small bowl, combine instant coffee, sugar, and hot water.
Using a whisk, electric mixer, or spoon, whip vigorously until the mixture becomes thick, glossy, and forms stiff peaks.
It should feel silky and airy—like a sweet, coffee-scented cloud.
Step 2: Prepare the Milk Base
Fill a glass with cold milk and ice for an iced version, or warm the milk for a cozy hot version.
The milk should be smooth and fresh to balance the bold whipped coffee topping.
Step 3: Assemble Your Dalgona Coffee
Spoon the whipped coffee cloud on top of the milk.
Gently swirl or mix before drinking—or enjoy the contrast of creamy milk under a bold, fluffy espresso-like layer.
Tips & Variations
- Adjust sweetness: Reduce sugar for a less sweet version or use honey or maple syrup.
- Make it mocha: Add 1 teaspoon cocoa powder when whipping.
- Extra frothy: Use an electric mixer for the fluffiest texture.
- Try flavored milk: Vanilla, caramel, or cinnamon milk adds a unique twist.
- Use decaf: The recipe works perfectly with decaf instant coffee.
- Healthier twist: Swap sugar for coconut sugar or stevia.

Pair your Dalgona Coffee with:
- Fresh pastries or croissants

Storage Tips
