What is Dalgona Coffee?
It is something like a reversed latte. Having whipped coffee on top instead of foamed milk and milk as the base and it is normally served cold.
There is a reason why Dalgona coffee has become viral worldwide. It tastes good and looks fancy but very easy to make, especially if you own an electric mixer. The sweet thick velvety foam is created by whipping coffee powder, sugar, and hot water. You can also whip it by hand but it can take a bit longer.
Although it is known to most as a South Korean beverage, whipped coffee or beaten coffee actually has its origin in Pakistan/India (called Phitti Hui normally served hot) and Macau. It became popular when it made an appearance in a Korean TV show where an actor went to Macau and ordered it. He called it Dalgona, referring to the Korean street food sponge candy which has the same appearance while in liquid form.
