It’s the internet’s lockdown beverage of choice.

With most Cork’s cafés closed as part of Covid-19 measures, caffeine addicts have been getting their fix online and one TikTok recipe has everyone whipped into frothy, caffeinated bliss.

Dalgona coffee is named after a South Korean honeycomb toffee. A simple but magical little recipe, the effect is kind of like a frosty coffee icecream or a strong, butterscotch iced latte.

Most importantly, it’s cheap, easy and you can probably make one using what’s already in your fridge and pantry.

Here’s what you need:

(Makes 2)

2tbs powdered instant coffee

2tbs granulated sugar

2tbs hot water

400mls milk (and kind, we used oat milk)

Method:

1. Mix the sugar, coffee and water in a mixing bowl until it thickens to a foam (use a fork or a whisk)
2. Pour the milk into two glasses and add some ice
3. Spoon the coffee and sugar foam on top and stir gently.

Note: The recipe will not work with brewed coffee or sugar substitute but you can use any type of milk.

Here’s one we made earlier:
