Today we make a popular drink called Iced Dalgona Coffee. It is a cold coffee drink with a thick foam layer on top of milk and ice. The foam is made from instant coffee, sugar, and hot water. After whipping, it becomes creamy and thick like a cloud.

This drink is simple but looks special. We enjoy different layers when we drink it. First, we taste the sweet coffee foam. Then we mix it with cold milk and ice to create a smooth flavor. It is easy to prepare at home with basic tools and clear steps.

Ingredients With Exact Measurements

To make one glass (about 8 to 10 oz / 240 to 300 ml), we prepare the following:

For The Coffee Foam:

- Instant coffee powder: 2 tablespoons (about 10 to 12 g)

- White sugar: 2 tablespoons (about 25 to 30 g)

- Hot water: 2 tablespoons (about 30 ml, freshly boiled)

These three ingredients must use equal amounts to create stable foam.

For The Base Drink:

- Cold milk: 200 to 250 ml

We can choose whole milk, low-calorie milk, oat milk, almond milk, or any milk we like.

- Ice cubes: 5 to 10 cubes

Ice keeps the drink cold and refreshing.

Tools We Need:

- Deep mixing bowl

- Hand mixer or electric whisk

- Spoon

- Clear glass cup

A deep bowl is important because it prevents splashing during whipping.

Step By Step Guide To Make The Coffee Foam

Step 1: Mix The Base Foam Ingredients

1. We add 2 tablespoons of instant coffee, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of hot water into the mixing bowl.

2. We stir them slightly with a spoon first so the sugar begins to dissolve. This small mixing step helps the whipping process become smoother.

Step 2: Whip The Mixture

1. We use a hand mixer to whip the mixture at high speed.

2. We continue whipping for about 3 to 5 minutes. During this time, the color gradually becomes lighter and the texture turns thick and creamy.

3. We know the foam is ready when it holds its shape. If we lift the mixer, the foam stays firm and does not flow back quickly. That means the structure is stable.

4. If we whip by hand, it may take 8 to 15 minutes. A mixer makes the process easier and faster.

Step By Step Guide To Build The Iced Drink

After the foam is ready, we start building the drink layer by layer.

Step 3: Add Ice Into The Glass

1. We put 5 to 10 ice cubes into the clear glass cup. Ice fills about one third of the cup space.

2. Ice is important because this is an iced drink. It keeps the milk cold and balances the sweetness.

Step 4: Pour The Milk

1. We pour 200 to 250 ml of cold milk into the glass.

2. We fill the glass until it reaches about 70 to 80 percent full. We leave space on top for the coffee foam.

3. We pour slowly so the ice stays in place and the layers remain clean.

Step 5: Add The Coffee Foam On Top

1. We use a spoon to scoop the thick foam and gently place it on top of the milk.

2. We spread it evenly so it covers the surface. The foam layer should sit clearly on top like a soft cream blanket.

3. The contrast between white milk and brown foam creates a beautiful look.

Optional Step: Decoration

If we want, we can sprinkle a small amount of cocoa powder or cinnamon powder on top.

This step is optional but makes the drink look more attractive.

How We Enjoy It?

When we drink Iced Dalgona Coffee, we first taste the foam layer. It is sweet and strong with deep coffee flavor.Then we gently stir the foam into the milk and ice. The mixture becomes smooth and creamy. The sweetness spreads evenly through the drink.

We can adjust sugar or coffee amount based on our taste. If we prefer less sweetness, we reduce sugar slightly. If we like stronger coffee flavor, we increase instant coffee a little.

This drink gives us a simple but satisfying experience. We prepare it step by step, control the flavor, and enjoy the result.
