How to Make Dalgona Coffee

When you are on a holiday, do you keep the complimentary sachets of coffee or tea in your hotel room?  If you still have those small sachets of Nescafe Classic on hand  you can learn to make Dalgona Coffee with them.

To make a glass, you will need the following ingredients:

1) 4 Tbsp Nescafe 

2) 4 Tbsp Sugar

3) 4 Tbsp Hot Water

These are the steps to make the whipped coffee:

-Mix the above ingredients together till there are no lumps showing.
-Whip the mixture up with an electric hand mixer. 
-After four minutes the mixture should be thick and lighter in colour.

To make the drink:

-Pour about 250ml of milk into a glass filled with ice cubes.

-Scoop whipped coffee into the glass of milk.

-Drink it with a straw.

If you prefer your drink with more whipped coffee, you can increase the ingredients in equal amount.  I found the above recipe on Youtube but I am sharing this video instead because it is a less sweeter version and you will learn to make Dalgona with:

-instant coffee
-matcha powder
-turmeric, cinnamon and ginger powder

You can also make Dalgona Milk Tea with the black tea bags you have collected.  Watch this video to learn how to make dairy and non-dairy versions with all purpose cream.  

You can also brew your tea collection to drink or leave it to cool down to use as follows:

-as a toner for your skin to calm redness, reduce puffiness or minimize pores.

-to fight signs of aging as it has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. 

You can also chill the tea bags and use them as compress for your tired eyes.  Don't throw the tea leaves away as you can add them into your face mask or scrub to use.
