How to make the Tiktok famous Dalgona Coffee + three non-caffeinated recipes!
In case you haven’t encountered it yet, Dalgona Coffee is a coffee trend that people are currently going crazy over on Tiktok. If you’re wondering what a Dalgona Coffee is, it is originally from South Korea and what you could say is a reverse latte where the steamed milk is replaced by frothed coffee and coffee is replaced by iced milk.

However, we understand not everyone is fond of caffeine so we have three caffeine-free recipes too that you might want to try out!
