Ingredients needed to prepare Dalgona coffee
To prepare a pot of dalgona goodness, you need the following ingredients;
- A kettle or pot of boiling water is used in whipping the coffee
- Ground instant coffee. Simply put, instant coffee is dehydrated coffee power which be can be brewed to obtain coffee.
- Sugar
- Cream or warm milk
- A whisk. Could be manual or electronic ( should be preferably electronic)
- A mixing bowl for whisking the coffee
There, as you can see, you don’t need so much to achieve a good pot of dalgona coffee. Now that we are down with the ingredient let’s move on to the main deal, the brewing process.
How to make your own Dalgona Coffee at home.
The first thing you need to do here is to get your medium-size mixing bowl.
- Add one tablespoon of instant coffee powder.
- Then add 3 tablespoons of sugar.
- The next step is to add two tablespoons of boiling water. Make sure that the water is boiling. Then you can begin whisking.
- If you are using a manual whisk, then this step is going to be a little bit of an exercise. You need to consistently whip the coffee and sugar mixture for at least 3 minutes.
- After 6 minutes, you can check the consistency and then whip the mixture again for at least 5 to 7 minutes. So your whisking time sums up to a total of 10 to 12 minutes.
- At that point, your coffee mixture should have a fluffy consistency, and that is how you know your whipped coffee mixture is ready.
- But not so fast, you don’t plan on taking empty whipped coffee and sugar, do you?. Of course not. You need liquid milk. Get a glass, pour in a good amount of milk ( could be warm or chilled depending on how you want your coffee), add a spoonful of your whipped coffee mixture.
- Go to your favourite at home, get comfortable and enjoy.
Extra tips and tricks on how to achieve the perfect dalgona coffee
- When preparing our coffee blend, avoid reducing the sugar. The combination of sugar and coffee is what gives dalgona coffee its foamy and creamy texture. If you are one with a sweet tooth, then you can feel free to add a teaspoon of sugar. But not too much now; we do not want to overdo it.
- Do not add hot water to your coffee and sugar mixing once you commence whisking. This stops the coffee mixture from forming that perfect creamy texture.
- Dalgona coffee works only with granulated sugar. It could be brown or white; any would do, really. Do not use sweeteners such as maple syrups or honey. These won’t do the trick.
- When it comes to the main ingredient, which is coffee, just instant coffee will work to make this recipe a success.
- When whipping the coffee and sugar mixture, alternate your hand movements between clockwise, anti-clockwise and even zig-zag movement. These alternated hand movements help build up that foamy and creamy consistency.
- For vegan dalgona coffee options, you can try almond milk. Soy milk is a perfect match as well.
- If you want your coffee hot, then all you need to do is warm up your liquid milk and then add a spoon full of your foamy whipped coffee.
