Dalgona coffee is a type of cold brew beverage made using instant coffee, sugar, water, and cream or milk. It gets its name from a traditional [Korean honeycomb-shaped toffee](https://parade.com/1274738/kavitharamaswamy/squid-game-dalgona-candy-recipe/) called “dalgona” which has a similar flavor and texture to the finished product. After mixing all four ingredients together into a bowl or cup, you must vigorously whisk them for several minutes until they form stiff peaks. The resulting foam should have an even layer of light brown bubbles on top.

Making Dalgona coffee is surprisingly simple and requires only four ingredients. All you need are instant coffee powder, sugar, hot water, and either cream or milk. The coffee, sugar, and water are whipped to resemble whipped cream. Then, the cream is dolloped over a glass of warm or cold milk ([see the recipe below](https://spillinthebeans.com/coffee/types-of-coffee/dalgona-coffee/#recipe)). ### What Type of Coffee is Best for Preparing Whipped Coffee? For best results when making Dalgona coffee, we recommend using high-quality instant espresso powder. it will give your drink an authentic café flavor without any bitterness or grittiness that may come along with regular store-bought instant coffee products.     ### What Are the Best Types of Cups for Whipped Coffee? When serving up Dalgona coffees at home, use clear glassware so that everyone can admire the beautiful layers inside their drinks. It’s a two-layer beverage with liquidy cold (or hot) milk at the bottom and a fluffy, frothy topping on top. We recommend using tall tumblers or sundae glasses if available, as they’ll provide plenty of space for each component while still giving off an elegant presentation. If you don’t have glass coffee mugs, tumblers, or sundae glasses, any type of tall drinking glass will do just fine. #### Dalgona coffee first became popular in 2019 when the South Korean television show “Pyunstorang” featured the drink.
