What is Dalgona Lavender Iced Coffee?

Dalgona Lavender Iced Coffee (also known as lavender whipped coffee) is a trendy cold drink latte that mixes the creamy style of Dalgona coffee with the sweet aroma of lavender. It became internet famous on social media, especially during the lockdowns, where people shared their homemade versions. To make it, you whip up a frothy coffee mixture, mix it with lavender syrup and milk, pour it over ice, and enjoy!

Little Background

The Dalgona coffee trend started in South Korea and spread globally in 2020. It's named after a Korean honeycomb toffee candy known for its fluffy texture. Adding lavender syrup gives the drink a unique floral flavor that's refreshing and appealing to those who like trying new tastes.

Health Benefits of Coconut Milk

• Aids in weight loss.
• Builds strong bones.
• Boosts immune system.
• Maintains blood sugar levels.
• Rich in minerals and vitamins.
• Good alternative to dairy and soy milk.

Top Tip

Use Instant Coffee: Instant coffee works best for the whipped coffee topping as it dissolves easily and creates a creamy foam. You can use regular instant coffee or instant espresso powder for a stronger flavor.

Substitutions

• Instant Coffee: If you don't have instant coffee, you can use instant espresso powder or brewed strong coffee that has been chilled.
• Brown Sugar: Replace brown sugar with white granulated sugar, honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup based on your preference.
• Hot Water: You can use warm water or even cold water to dissolve the coffee and sugar mixture. Cold water may require a bit more stirring to achieve the desired frothy consistency.
• Iced Coffee: Instead of iced coffee, you can use cold brew coffee or freshly brewed coffee that has been chilled in the refrigerator.
• Monin Lavender Syrup: If you don't have Monin lavender syrup, you can use another brand of lavender syrup or make your own by infusing simple syrup with dried lavender buds.
• Coconut Milk: Any type of milk or milk alternative can be used instead of coconut milk. This includes dairy milk, unsweetened almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, or any other favorite milk you prefer.

Variations

• Vanilla Lavender Iced Coffee:
  • Substitute vanilla syrup or a splash of vanilla extract for the lavender syrup, then top with whipped Dalgona coffee and serve over ice for a creamy and fragrant drink.
  • Feel free to make your own homemade lavender by making a lavender simple syrup or boil dried lavender flowers.
• Chocolate Lavender Iced Mocha:
  • Add a tablespoon of chocolate syrup or cocoa powder to the coffee and sugar mixture.
  • Use chocolate-flavored milk or add a drizzle of chocolate syrup to the iced coffee before topping with whipped coffee.
• Spiced Lavender Iced Coffee:
  • Mix a pinch of ground cinnamon or cardamom with the coffee and sugar mixture.
  • Use a spiced syrup such as cinnamon or chai instead of lavender syrup for a warm and aromatic twist.
• Favorite instant espresso: Ferrara instant espresso coffee

Storage

• Dalgona Lavender Iced Coffee is best enjoyed fresh to savor its flavors and textures fully. If you need to store components separately, refrigeration is key, and remember to stir or shake well before serving if there's any settling or separation.
• Whipped Coffee Mixture: If you have leftover whipped coffee mixture (the frothy coffee and sugar mixture), you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. However, note that the texture and frothiness may decrease over time, so it's best to use it soon after making for optimal quality.
