Indulge in the creamy, frothy sensation of dalgona coffee, this beloved beverage took the internet by storm a few years ago and is still a favourite to many coffee enthusiasts!
Originating from South Korea, this delightful drink combines instant coffee, sugar, and hot water to create a velvety cloud of coffee foam that floats atop a glass of milk. Perfect for a quick pick-me-up or a special treat, dalgona coffee is as visually appealing as it is delicious.
This style of coffee is believed to have received the nickname dalgona for its resemblance to dalgona sponge candy, traditional street food from Korea.
