Whipped Coffee + Boba

Whipped coffee, otherwise known as Dalgona coffee is a trend on TikTok that has exploded overnight. It only requires three ingredients: water, instant coffee, and sugar ( granulated). I then combined it with boba pearls to make a great caffeinated and creamy drink.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp. granulated sugar

2 tbsp. instant coffee 

2 tbsp. cold water

Ice, for serving

Milk, for serving

1/4 cup of boba pearls (tapioca)

Directions:

1. Boil 4 cups of water and add boba pearls. Once they start to float at the surface drain water and place them in a separate bowl. Make a sugar and water solution and add it to the hot pearls, this will prevent them fro sticking together.

2. In 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.) Make it sure it has peaks.

3. Add boba to the glass you want it to be served it and fill mostly with milk (or ice), then dollop and swirl the whipped coffee mixture on top, mixing before drinking, if desired.
