Chances are you’ve likely seen photos and videos of whipped coffee or Dalgona Coffee while you scrolled social media during your quarantine. I finally gotten swayed to try my hand on this trendy and easy recipe. And I’m happy to report, it’s a fun way to make your coffee routine at home feel special. It takes less than 5 minutes if you have a hand mixer. If you don’t have a hand mixer, this is a great way to get in an arm exercise. So here is my post on how to make Dalgona Coffee!
If you’re curious about the origins of whipped coffee, some Googling revealed that the drink itself has origins from India, Pakistan, and Macau. Where it got its name of “Dalgona coffee” was from Actor Jung Il-Woo. He traveled to Macau, tried the drink, and gave it the nickname “Dalgona” for its resemblance to the traditional Korean sponge candy of the same name. The more you know 🌈 !
