Make a dalgona, it's cool, cold and tastes like a million dollars

The upside down cappuccino has social media in a froth. Served hot or cold, it's made by spooning a coffee “mousse” over milk and is seriously delicious.

Add a tot of your fave coffee liqueur and you have an adult milkshake. No-one need know it's made with instant coffee — it's what allows the mixture to whip up into a beautiful caramel colour froth.

Said to have its origins in India, Pakistan and Macau, it has been nicknamed “dalgona coffee” because of the similarity of the caramel colour “mousse” to a South Korean confection of the same name.
