(that may be a reflection of my telephone, not one thing floating, lol)

Although I depend on my native espresso store when occasions are regular, and so they know my identify and order after I stroll in, I shortly realized I used to be going to must get good at this espresso factor.
I’ve been doing a ton of analysis on French Press, since that’s what I had within the closet, and I’ll let you know, I’ve gotten fairly good.
On the opposite finish of the espresso spectrum, some mornings I would like one thing chilly because the climate has began to heat up.
I’ve seen Dalgona espresso EVERRYYWHEREEEE and eventually picked up some prompt espresso powder on my checklist grocery journey to offer it a strive.
As I used to be doing analysis on it, I additionally realized folks had been making a Matcha model that was not solely stunning, however sounded scrumptious.
I immediately ran upstairs to seize my packet of Now Meals Natural Matcha Powder & two masterpieces had been born….for my part.
So what’s Dalgona Espresso?
Dalgona espresso is a beverage made by whipping equal proportions of prompt espresso powder, sugar, and sizzling water till it turns into creamy after which including it to chilly or sizzling milk.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT “WHIPPING” MATCHA!!
On the subject of Matcha, all of my analysis was exhibiting the way it doesn’t do the identical factor that the moment espresso powder does.
It tends to not “whip” with simply sizzling water and sugar and some folks advised utilizing a can of pure coconut milk, letting it sit within the fridge over night time to harden, after which utilizing the coconut fats off the highest of the can to whip with the matcha.
THIS WORKED FOR ME! So I extremely advocate.
Simply watch out while you go to scrape it out of the can, you might create a little bit of a large number, which I’ll be trustworthy, I are inclined to make a large number anytime I’m within the kitchen.
On the subject of the addition of sugar, I all the time use my cup-for-cup Sugarless Sugar from Now Meals, that I’m fairly frankly obsessive about and use in all of my baking as effectively, and wished to experiment with it.

The espresso appeared like this after I was performed:
