'''Dalgona coffee''' is a beverage made by whipping equal parts [[instant coffee]] powder, sugar, and hot water until it becomes creamy and then adding it to cold or hot milk.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/dalonga_coffee_20606|title=Dalgona coffee|access-date=7 April 2020}}</ref> Occasionally, it is topped with coffee powder, cocoa, crumbled biscuits, or honey.<ref name=baes>{{cite news | last = Baes | first =Patricia | title =What is dalgona coffee & why is it on everyone's instagram now? | publisher =[[MSN]] | quote="The drink itself has origins from Rajasthan(India) where it is also known as whipped coffee or beaten coffee" | date = 27 March 2020 | url =https://www.msn.com/en-ph/foodanddrink/foodnews/what-is-dalgona-coffee-and-why-is-it-on-everyones-instagram-now/ar-BB11LDuy?li=BBr8Cnv | access-date = 4 April 2020}}</ref> It was popularized on social media during the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], when people refraining from going out started making videos of whipping the coffee at home, by hand without using [[mixer (appliance)|electrical mixer]]s.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/food-news/s-koreas-dalgona-coffee-is-the-new-quarantine-fad/articleshow/75106688.cms|title=S Korea’s Dalgona coffee is the new quarantine fad |website=The Times of India|language=en|access-date=14 April 2020}}</ref> The name is derived from ''[[dalgona]]'', a Korean sugar sweet, due to the resemblance in taste and appearance, though most dalgona coffee doesn't actually contain ''dalgona''.

The viral trend of sharing recipes and photos of the [[Do it yourself|do-it-yourself (DIY)]] coffee first gained prominence during the [[social distancing]] orders in [[South Korea]], and for that reason it is dubbed the 'quarantine drink' or 'quarantine coffee'.<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.glamour.com/story/dalgona-coffee-recipe|title=Dalgona Coffee Is the Internet’s Favorite, Fluffiest Quarantine Drink.

The drink is inspired from the Indian coffee beverage known as ''phenti hui'' coffee, ''phitti hui'' coffee, or [[beaten coffee]].
