Dalgona coffee—it started as a Tik Tok trend and now is served at coffee shops and restaurants all over America. Is it worth the hype? Only one way to find out.
If you've got instant coffee, sugar, and water on hand, you can make this. It'll go by faster if you have a hand mixer, but a humble regular whisk, one powerful arm, and a good dose of patience and endurance will get you there too—just make sure you're ready to feel the burn in your triceps and biceps and you'll be rewarded with a nice tall glass of cold, creamy coffee that's sweetened just right. Depending on how much of a caffeine rush you want, this recipe makes enough dalgona fluff for one or two servings. It's delicious but very strong: drink at your own discretion!

Directions
- Step 1In a medium bowl, combine sugar, coffee, and water. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, vigorously whisk until mixture turns silky smooth and shiny, then continue whisking until it thickens and holds its lofty, foamy shape. (If whisking by hand, it will take 8 to 12 minutes to get to optimal fluffiness.)
- Step 2Fill a glass most of the way full with ice and milk, then dollop and swirl the whipped coffee mixture on top, mixing before drinking, if desired.
