Four Brunch Recipes For The Lazy Day In
Once you spend a month of Saturdays indoors, you have no choice but to prepare a few meals on your own. A healthy brunch is not only simple to prepare, but you will also find yourself wondering why you paid a small fortune for some of the dishes you have eaten in the past.
Dalgona Coffee
Dalgona coffee originated in India and was initially named, phenti hui, or beaten coffee. It was later nicknamed dalgona after a South Korean actor Jung II-woo ordered it, fell in love (as we all did), and officially dubbed it "dalgona" after a Korean sponge candy with the same name. History class is over; it is time for Home Economics.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes (varies)
Total Time: 10 minutes
Yields: 1 serving
Ingredients:
2 tbs of instant coffee
2 tbs of sugar
2 tbs of water
Your choice of milk and/or creamer
Ice (optional)
Had it ten times + counting.
Directions:
Bring water to a boiling point
In a small container mix instant coffee and sugar
Add hot water + whisk until a creamy tan color consistency forms
In an empty cup add ice, milk, and your choice of creamer
Add the whipped coffee on top of the milk (it should float)
Thoroughly incorporate coffee and milk
Enjoy!
Note
With a handheld electric whisk, the whipping process takes about three minutes. Dalgona coffee may take longer to prepare without an electric mixer. This coffee is robust. If you enjoy strong coffee, you will love this drink. If you like your coffee on the sweeter side, add more milk and creamer as desired. Make it your own and add some of your fave complementary sauces and syrups! There is really no way to go wrong with this caffeinated pick me up.
