i know everyone was making this during the pandemic and it’s lowkey a traumatic drink for that reason … but it’s still soo yummy and fun to make in the mornings. 10/10 we must return to our roots

"it wasn't a covid phase, mom!!"
If you lived through the pandemic and also had a crippling tiktok addiction, you've probably tried dalgona coffee. I recently got back into it after running out of fresh beans and boy oh boy, this shit still hits!!! it's so simple. so easy. soooo good. recipe: • 2 tbsp of instant coffee // I use trader joes, but there are better • 2 tbsp of brown sugar // any granulated sugar will do • 2 tbsp of hot water // I do 190° • whip/wisk/fluff/destroy till it becomes a fluffy caramel-to-first tan of summer gold spoon it on top of milk of choice and bam! enjoy <3

☕Remember Dalgona coffee? That thing everyone was making during the lockdown? I’ve never actually tried it but I have this idea that a Dalgona Affogato would be a lot of fun. Like good vanilla gelato with a whipped coffee topping 🤤

i live away from home, have been for almost 4 years now; i’m studying in a city far away from home, and like all college students, i need coffee to function 🙏 here are some things i do to keep the beverage interesting :)
• whipped coffee; beat instant coffee, sugar and a tiny bit of water till you see peaks forming, and pour in your choice of milk! can be had iced or hot. i love the little foam layer and bubbles that form on top. • café medici(ish); add milk, cocoa powder and orange essence (pls don’t use orange juice because that’ll split the milk) to your instant coffee and you’ll have a rich, complex flavour which will warm you from the inside. • cardamom café latte; prepare instant coffee in the normal way, add milk and sugar, and then add a pinch of cardamom powder! as an indian girlie, i love chai, so having coffee which reminds me of the flavour of chai is great ;) • coffee cookie ice cream; get a tub of vanilla ice cream, and make a concentrated decoction with instant coffee. crush any cookies/biscuits off your choice. pour the decoction into the tub of ice cream and sprinkle in the crumbs as you mix. pop it back in the freezer for a while and then you’re done! enjoy. • cran-coffee; if you’re not a fan of milk, make a weaker decoction of instant coffee, pour it into cold water, add some cranberry juice and sugar, with a twist of lime. top it off with some ice and you’ll have a refreshing earthy mocktail!
