All the rage, doubled. I love the Dalgona Coffee trend. It’s fun to watch all of the Instagram content around it, and it’s just a beautiful looking beverage.
You make this drink by whisking together small portions of sugar, coffee/matcha, and cold water/egg whites. Everything whips together in just a few minutes, and you feel fancy as ever. All while you drink your specialty coffee from the comfort of your own home. I especially love the idea of making this for a friend or loved one as a nice little joyful surprise. It’s so interesting and really fun!
Dalgona Coffee reminds me so much of yogurt coffee, in that it’s a deliciously different version of the drink so many of us love: coffee.
I’ve decided to take this up a notch and also offer it in a matcha version for the tea drinkers. I know matcha has just as much of a cult following as coffee does, so why not bring the two together in this delightfully fluffy drink craze.
For the Matcha:
Make sure to whip the egg whites before adding the matcha. I tested this mixing the matcha in at the first step and it does not whip up into the necessary texture.
Keep it cold!
If the mixtures - both coffee and matcha- seem to be deflating put it in the fridge for 5-10 minutes before spooning onto the coffee.
Vegan or Gluten-Free?
If you’re looking for a vegan, gluten-free version, follow the matcha recipe and substitute the egg whites with aquafaba (chickpea liquid) 1:1. Use dairy-alternative milk and enjoy!! Please note that it’s my understanding that instant coffees are made with gluten (which gives it its lift in this recipe!).
