Dalgona Coffee

For those who would also like to try creating Dalgona coffee like Jennie, the recipe is simple, and the process is straightforward. All that is required are two tablespoons of instant coffee, two tablespoons of granulated sugar, and one cup of whole milk for the ingredients.

As for the process, start by combining the instant coffee, sugar, and two tablespoons of hot water in a small mixing bowl. Beat your mixture for about 5 minutes using a hand mixer, or until the color changes to a golden brown.

Dalgona coffee made a buzz in Korea back in March while everybody was forced to stay indoors due to the lockdown measures. Everyone took to social media to showcase their talent in making Dalgona coffee, which caused it to trend.

Originally, this drink is known as whipped coffee in places like India, Pakistan, and Macao. However, it was given a nickname in South Korea because it tastes like the retro toffee-like candy dalgona.

At present, there are many videos of the recipe that are still trending and have surpassed millions of views.
