Dalgona Coffee

Made by whisking instant coffee, sugar, and hot water together until the mixture resembles a fluffy meringue, watching dalgona coffee come together feels like magic. Here’s the science behind the foam.

Prep: 10 min
Total: 10 min
4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup instant coffee granules (1/2 ounce; 14g)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (1 ounce; 30g)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) hot water
  • Whole or dairy-free milk, for serving (about 1 cup/237ml per serving)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (you can also do this in a mixing bowl with a hand-mixer; see notes), combine the instant coffee granules, granulated sugar, and hot water. Whisk on medium-high speed until pale, fluffy, and doubled in volume, about 7 minutes (the foam will begin to form at about 4 minutes, but it's best to continue mixing until a much fluffier foam forms at about 7 minutes).

  2. 2

    To serve, fill each glass three-quarters of the way full with your milk of choice. Using a spoon, top each glass with the coffee foam. Serve immediately.
