April 6, 2020

If you have an Instagram account and have logged in the last week, there is a good chance you would of seen a whipped coffee.. either that or a coronavirus meme.

Either way, there is a big coffee trend going on at the moment and that is the Dalgana coffee, also known as a whipped coffee. It kind of just looks like the poo emoji on top of a glass of milk, but does it taste any good?

We made one in the office and surprisingly it actually does!
Does it taste any different to a normal iced coffee? Not really tbh but it’s all about the looks and trends amiright?

Check it out for yourself, simply search the hashtag #dalganacoffee or #whippedcoffee and you will see hundreds of images of the trending drink.

Where did it come from?

Well according to Wikipedia ‘The beverage’s origins can be traced to the Indian subcontinent, where it is called phenti hui (Hindi) / fetano (Bengali) (“beaten coffee”, “whipped coffee”), and has long been popular there before going viral on social media.’

Where it is now known on social media as the coffee of quarantine.

How do you make it?

Well, it’s actually pretty damn easy!

All it is made up of is three simple ingredients that you’ve probably already got in the cupboard.
Simply add two tablespoons of instant coffee, 2 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of boiling water.

Now we get it, 2 tablespoons of sugar is a lot, so feel free to use less. We just found the sugar helped make the whipped coffee stay ‘whipped’ longer. I dunno, make up your own decision on this one. If you use that much sugar and that much coffee, expect to be bouncing off the walls by your 4 PM Zoom meeting with your manager.

Alright.. once you’ve got all the ingredients in the bowl, get a mixer and mix that bad boy up. You can do it by hand, but you’ll probably end up looking like the Rock by the time you’re done because this thing takes a serious mixin’.
You’ll notice after a while it starts to look like peanut butter? It gets extra whippy and is ready to go.

Now throw some ice in a glass, pour some milk in and chuck your whippy whip on top.

And BAM! You’ve got yourself a Dalgana!
