What Is Dalgona Coffee?

Dalgona Coffee is a beverage made by whipping, water, sugar and Coffee granules, the name is derived from Dalgona, a Korean sugar candy, due to the resemblance in taste, and appearance.

What does Dalgona Coffee taste like?

It tastes a little like soft whipped Coffee ice cream. Its very sweet and definitely lingers on your palate much longer than other Coffees due to the thickness of the cream. Not sure how to convey this, but….it tastes posh! I’m not sure how you can accurately describe what posh tastes like? But I would wager this Coffee, is a posh folk kinda Coffee-I hope that makes sense ;o).
