Dalgona Coffee
by Collette White | 7 May, 2020









Good Afternoon friends, I hope this finds you all well! You have probably seen by now the ‘Dalgona Coffee’ craze going around social media – I have seen a few people make it but it was my teenage daughters that kept telling me they had seen it so we were keen to give it a try. I can not express exactly how frustrating this ‘simple’ coffee was at first or exactly how much (wayyyyy too much) coffee we used in experimenting. I kid you not when I say that we would have tried this at least 30 times trying to get it ‘right’ only to realise (((yes you can laugh at me))) that we were using the wrong kind of instant coffee. Because who knew there were different kinds. Instant coffee isn’t something I normally have (coffee snob here) but my Mum drinks it when she visits so I had a large jar from when she was here last. The coffee that we were using which I thought was ‘instant’, in fact was only part instant and part arabica beans ground up. Advice – make sure the coffee you buy is 100% instant – we ended up buying the cheapest supermarket one and it worked perfectly. After trying a few different ratios, this is my families favourite. I am popping it here for you all to enjoy if you love a coffee and for our safe keeping, because I really don’t want to go through ALL of that again if I forget ‘how’ to do it!
