Dalgona coffee with coffee beans on pavement
  • This is an easy recipe for dalgona coffee, otherwise known as whipped coffee, with a Girl Scout cookie twist.
  • The main ingredients are coconut shreds, instant coffee, brown sugar, and caramel sauce.
  • For a grown-up twist, you can even add in some Jaegermeister Cold Brew, Kailua, or any type of coffee-flavored liquor.

Rim your glass first before adding any ingredients.

The first thing you want to do is rim your glass or chosen vessel with caramel sauce. Then, you can dip it in toasted coconut.

Next, you can add the milk, coconut syrup, and ice cubes to the glass and put it in freezer to keep it cold. It shouldn’t freeze or crack because it won’t be in there that long.

Helpful Hint: I made my own coconut creamer ice cubes. You can buy coconut creamer from the store or make your own.

Make the whipped coffee.

Next up, you can start making your whipped coffee. I really love Cafe Bustelo’s instant coffee. I have a huge canister, and it’s lasted me all summer.

Dalgona Whipped Coffee Drink

Place your instant coffee, boiling water, and brown sugar into a mixing bowl. All of the brown sugar is 100 percent necessary for this recipe to work well. 

You can start mixing your ingredients until peaks form (just like in making whipped cream). This should take about 5 minutes, if using an electric mixer. If by hand, well…good luck (just kidding, takes about 100 strokes).

Add the whipped coffee to the milk mixture.

You can now grab the glass out of the freezer, and top the whipped coffee on top of the milk and ice. It looks best if the whipped coffee is nearly overflowing past the rim.

Make it pretty.

Your drink probably already looks great, but you can make it look more like a Caramel Delight by drizzling caramel sauce, chocolate syrup, and toasted and/or regular coconut shreds over the whipped coffee.

Serve your dalgona with a glass straw to keep the drink extra cold. Etee, a company passionate about reducing plastic, sells beautiful reusable glass straws. I have one in the teal color, and I find it’s the perfect size for my iced coffee drinks. Buy etee’s beautiful glass straws here!

Samoa Dalgona Coffee

Helpful Hint: For a grown-up spin on this drink, you can add a little bit of your favorite coffee-flavored liquor. I love Jaegermeister Cold Brew with this coffee drink. I’m careful to never drink these too late into the evening or I’ll never get to sleep.

This recipe is a tribute to my all-time favorite Girl Scout cookie: Samoas or Caramel Delights (as they’re known in the Midwest).

𝑊𝑖𝑛𝑒-𝐼𝑛𝑓𝑢𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝐶 𝑊𝑖𝑛𝑒-𝐼𝑛𝑓𝑢𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝐶𝑜𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑒

Recently, I was offered the chance to try out a holiday blend infused with a Grenache from Santa Barbara. 

Wine-infused coffee is a fairly new concept that involves the soaking of the coffee beans in red wine prior to roasting. This results in a full-bodied, rich flavor with light & fruit tasting notes, and it’s ultimately alcohol-free. 

With the batch I received, I tried it as espresso and as a pour over. I found that with pour over, the wine was hardly noticeable — still excellent coffee, but you’re not going to get those red wine tasting notes. When I pulled espresso with the blend, it was quite different. Because I regularly make oat milk lattes, I found that the milk seemed to bring out the wine taste much further. 

There was a very unique, wine-like aftertaste that I’ve never experienced. It was fruity, rich, and certainly unique. Was it good? It’s hard to say. I do believe it’s an acquired taste, and I wouldn’t go out of my way to purchase it again. But, it’s certainly worth trying if you haven’t and you are a fan of a red wine. 

Have you tried wine-infused coffee? What are your thoughts — would love to know in the comments✌️

A fun way to spice up your coffee routine is by li A fun way to spice up your coffee routine is by literally adding spice to it. A dirty chai is just a latte with a splash of chai concentrate.  

Chai concentrate consists of a number of spices including ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, star anise, black peppercorns, and cinnamon (with a few other ingredients as well). To make this dirty chai recipe much simpler, I recommend just buying some high-quality chai concentrate from the store. Swipe right to see my choice of store-bought chai. It works just as well as making your own, and saves you loads of time because it’s a fairly intensive process to DIY! 

Another tip I have for this recipe is to feel free to replace the espresso with a strong coffee concentrate, if you don’t have a way to make espresso at home. You can either reduce your coffee to water ratio in your usual brew method or use an AeroPress or Moka pot to get a strong enough coffee concentrate for this dirty chai. 

After you’ve gotten a hold of these ingredients, you’re ready for a new take on your coffee. In combining the chai concentrate with a normal latte, you’re left with a warm and spicy espresso drink that is sure to keep you perked up all throughout the day. Read on to make this super easy 3-ingredient dirty chai latte.

Ingredients: 
•¼ cup chai concentrate (store-bought or homemade)
 
•2 shots of espresso or 4 ounces of highly-concentrated coffee
 
•¾ cup milk of your choice

Instructions: 

1. For a warm chai, foam your milk first and have it on deck. 

2. Next, pull your espresso or coffee-concentrate and pour into a server. Add chai concentrate to espresso and stir gently.

3. Pour foamed milk over chai-espresso mixture. Serve immediately. 

4. For an iced chai, combine all three ingredients in a tall glass. Add more concentrate if desired.

5. Finish the drink off with a couple of ice cubes (or even better — throw in a few cold brew coffee ice cubes!).
An affogato is an Italian dessert consisting of va An affogato is an Italian dessert consisting of vanilla ice cream that is covered by freshly prepared espresso. Enjoy it for breakfast or as an after-dinner dessert.

Though it seems pretty basic in theory, there are a few things to know before going about it to save yourself a few easy-to-make mistakes. Read on for the best affogato-making secrets.

1. The quality of the espresso doesn’t have to be top-tier.

2. The vanilla bean ice cream, on the other hand, does need to taste good…REALLY good. Since an affogato is mostly ice cream, it needs to be high-quality ice cream. It will make or break your final result.
(Try Salt & Straw if you haven’t already!) 

3. Pour the espresso over the scooped ice cream as soon as you can after the shot has been pulled.

4. Garnish the finished product with chocolate shavings and a one-inch square of prepared salted brownies.

Coffee Pairing of the Week: Wisconsin’s Famous K Coffee Pairing of the Week: Wisconsin’s Famous Kringle with Gesha Coffee 

While some of us are familiar with wine and cheese pairings, most of us are not as familiar with coffee and food pairings (and I don’t know about you, but I tend to enjoy this combo much more frequently than the former). 

As a tribute to my home state, I attempted to make kringle, and I’ve discovered it’s a lot harder than it looks. The one pictured is actually a kringle from an authentic Danish bakery in WI because my first attempts have yet to be successful. And while kringle is good on its own, it’s even better when perfectly paired with a Gesha coffee. 

The reason I went with this choice is because Gesha coffee is almost like a tea. The flavors are complex and boast of sweet, floral notes. Gesha coffee also has a much lighter body than most other coffees. This mild quality works to delicately compliment the buttery and fruity flavors of this pastry, but it won’t entirely overtake the wonderful flavors of the kringle.

Do you have a favorite Gesha coffee? I’ve shared my favorite in the comments below!
