My Cramped Kitchen; Dalgona Coffee
Did I spend nearly half an hour making a cup of coffee? You're damn right I did!

A friend told me about this frothy coffee she'd spent half an hour making, and lauded its magicalness. And given I'm not really allowed to leave my flat, and like coffee in the morning I figured why not give it a bash.
The coffee in question is Dalgona coffee, which is a Korean creation, and is essentially an upside down cappuccino. Milk at the bottom, and then the espresso shot all frothed up on the top. I mean, how hard can it be?
The latest caffeine creation to hit Instagram.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of instant coffee
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of boiling water
- 350ml of hot milk - just hotter than drinkable
Instructions
The Milk
- Gently bring this to a simmer, so its hot, but not boiling as such.
The Coffee
- Put the coffee and sugar into a mixing vessel and add the two tablespoons of boiling water, the hotter the better.
- Beat until it forms stiff peaks, like a cake or meringue mix.
Assembly
- Preheat a mug with some hot water, and empty.
- Pour in the hot milk.
- Spoon the coffee goop onto the top of the milk and shape into an Instagram friendly look.
- Enjoy.
Recipe Notes
Before sipping at it, you do have to destroy the aesthetics of the drink to mix the coffee into the milk.

Made a cold one this week! T'was lethal, but delicious
You are evidently bored, but I like this idea.
You have no idea.
Is it worth the effort?
Gotta watch the video to find out.
I did see it. And I saw your Its fantastic bit. But I am still not sure if it’s worth the effort. Also I might just prefer this as a cold brew.
