To make whipped dalgona, you need a few ingredients to whip. The combination of instant coffee, granulated sugar and a few tablespoons of warm water foam beautifully just by beating them with a spoon, right there in your mug.
Once you get that foam going, you can either spoon it over warm or ice-cold milk or pour the milk over the foam, causing it to rise to the surface. For the recipe below, we’re adding a few drops of vanilla to make our dalgona more exciting. Sweeten your coffee to taste, just as you would with a latte or a frothy cappuccino.
There’s no secret ingredient here, just good-old whipping. If your mixture doesn’t foam, you might have added too much water — it happens.

Stir the vanilla into the milk and pour it into a glass filled with ice. Spoon the coffee foam over the milk.
