Chai latte Dalgone Coffee

gredients

For the Chai Tea:

• 1 cup water
• 1 black tea bag
• 1 teaspoon chai tea masala (or chai spice blend)

For the Dalgona Coffee:

• 2 tablespoons instant coffee (powder or granulated)
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (white or raw sugar)
• 2 tablespoons boiling water

For Serving:

• Ice cubes
• ½ cup milk of choice (whole milk, oat milk, almond milk, or any milk you prefer)
• Optional: extra sugar or sweetener to taste

Instructions

1. Make the Chai Tea
Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small pot. Once boiling, add the black tea bag and chai tea masala. Let it boil together for 1-2 minutes to infuse all those beautiful spices into the tea. Remove from heat and let the tea steep for another 2-3 minutes. Remove the tea bag and set the chai aside to cool completely. You can speed this up by placing it in the refrigerator or adding a few ice cubes.

2. Make the Dalgona Coffee
In a medium bowl, combine the instant coffee, sugar, and boiling water. Stir with a spoon to combine and dissolve the sugar. Now comes the fun part! Using a whisk or hand mixer, beat the mixture vigorously until it transforms into a thick, fluffy, cloud-like foam. This will take about 2-3 minutes with a hand mixer or 5-8 minutes by hand with a whisk. You'll know it's ready when it forms stiff peaks and has a light caramel color. The mixture should be thick enough to hold its shape when you lift the whisk.

3. Assemble the Drink
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the cooled chai tea over the ice, filling the glass about halfway. Add your milk of choice on top, filling the glass almost to the top but leaving room for the whipped coffee.

4. Top with Dalgona Coffee
Spoon the fluffy whipped dalgona coffee on top of the milk, creating a beautiful layered effect. You can create swirls and peaks with the back of the spoon for an extra pretty presentation.

5. Stir and Enjoy
When you're ready to drink, stir vigorously with a straw or spoon to combine the whipped coffee with the chai and milk. The drink will turn creamy and delicious with every layer mixed together. Taste and add more sugar or sweetener if needed. Enjoy immediately!
