Dalgona Coffee Without Sugar: A Lighter Version You Can Whip at Home

Dalgona coffee, the whipped instant coffee drink, has seen a sharp rise in searches in recent months, and many people are asking for a version without sugar. The good news is that the foam still works well with a sweetener that suits you.

Ingredients for 1 glass

• 1 tablespoon instant coffee
• 1 tablespoon hot water
• 1 tablespoon sugar-free sweetener (or half a tablespoon honey)
• 1 cup cold milk or unsweetened plant milk
• Ice

Steps

1. Mix the instant coffee, hot water and sweetener in a bowl.
2. Whip with an electric whisk or a fork for 2 to 3 minutes until thick and pale.
3. Fill a glass with ice and cold milk.
4. Spoon the whipped coffee on top and stir before drinking.

Tips

• Honey foams well but has sugar; sugar-free sweeteners are better for diabetics.
• Use less coffee for a milder taste, or decaf instant coffee in the evening.
