When I saw posts on Dalgona coffee all over the social media, I was not even able to pronounce it properly, I even called it dulcolax coffee. Don't laugh, ....both serve the same purpose.
With nothing else to do, I did a goosearch  and got some info about the coffee and it's origin.
This coffee originated in South Korea, and they wrongly say it requires only 3 ingredients. Actually it requires  five ingredients.
 Instant coffee, sugar, and hot water are vigorously mixed together until the froth becomes fluffy and aerated. Then this froth is poured on top of ice and milk.
 In South Korea it's called Ppopgi, and it means honey comb toffee. They used to look like lollipops those days and were available as street food, but now it's taken the form of a drink.
This easy-to-make drink melts into a beautiful, white and gold ombré color and boasts a sweet coffee flavor with a pillowy texture.
This coffee  has gained popularity as "Dalgona coffee" during the  2019-20 corona virus pandemic, when many governments began campaigns to promote isolation and social distancing. Dalgona coffee gets its name from the fluffy, toffee-like texture of the coffee when whipped into foam.
First time when I tried it, I did not get a frothy texture.
You need to whip it continuously for 15 minutes. I couldn't.
Then my husband who will do anything and everything 😉 for me, came to my rescue. And  you can see the consequence.
Please note- very soon you will see one more drink surfacing the social media. This time it will be - Bulgono.
It will be made of a chemical called Phenylethylamine, the same chemical that secretes when in love. Everyone is in a predicting mood nowadays.   😍😍😍
