With the isolation periods during the 2020
coronavirus outbreak, the world saw the popularisation
of honeycomb coffee, also called Dalgona.
This coffee has a rich cream layer and does
not require steamed milk. However, it does
require a hand mixer or a whisk. For those
who don’t have hand mixers, or find whisking
laborious, this video will show you how to
whip coffee with a simple immersion blender.
Start with a single-serve sachet or a tablespoon
of instant coffee, a tablespoon of powdered
or crystallised sugar and a tablespoon and
a half of hot water.
Immerse the blender’s wand completely and
start blending at low speed. Keep tilting
the blender and moving it up and down to incorporate
air into the mixture. After about four minutes,
the mixture will have doubled in volume. This
is when you must stop blending.
The froth produced by this method is rather
runny, and unless you have a high-end blender
with a brushless motor, the blender will likely
turn hotter than the coffee. So if volume
is your priority, this method isn’t for
you. However, for a simple consumer who just
wishes to whip coffee easily, it works just
fine, saves time, and effort.
