Nostalgic Delight: Sweet Dalgona Latte Recipe
How to Make a Dalgona Latte at Home
Introducing a recipe for a delightful Dalgona Latte, generously topped with the nostalgic Korean candy, Dalgona! Experience a perfect harmony of bitter espresso, sweet Dalgona, and creamy milk.
Dalgona Latte Ingredients- Ice: Enough to fill about 80% of the cup
- Milk: 120ml (adjust to your preference)
- Espresso: 2 shots (add more for a stronger coffee flavor)
- Dalgona: Generous amount, as desired (store-bought or homemade works perfectly!)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by preparing a nice glass or mug. Fill it about 80% full with plenty of cold ice cubes. Using enough ice helps keep the drink from becoming diluted and maintains its refreshing chill for longer.
Step 2
Pour 120ml of fresh milk over the ice. Feel free to adjust the milk quantity according to your taste. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can add a little extra milk.
Step 3
Now for the star of the show! Add a generous amount of Dalgona candy on top of the milk. Don’t be shy – add as much as you like to suit your sweet tooth. More Dalgona means a richer, sweeter flavor.
Step 4
Slowly pour 2 shots of espresso directly over the Dalgona. You can use an espresso machine, Moka pot, or any method you prefer. The slightly bitter notes of the espresso will create a wonderful contrast with the sweet Dalgona.
Step 5
As the espresso is poured, the Dalgona will begin to melt slightly. If it melts more than you expected and you feel it’s not sweet enough, don’t worry! You can always add more Dalgona on top to reach your desired level of sweetness.
Step 6
Voila! Your delicious Dalgona Latte is complete. For an even deeper flavor experience, gently stir the Dalgona, coffee, and milk together with a spoon before enjoying. Enjoy your treat!
