iced dalgona mocha

with coffee jelly

So this trendy dalgona coffee goes: whip up 2 tbsp instant coffee + 2 tbsp sugar + 2 tbsp hot water until your arms are ready to fall off and then pour that over a cup of ice and milk. Fab explanation by James Hoffmann on how it all works: https://youtu.be/WHmpgMsW-aA.

Now, Chriscelle's done a version with tapioca, Benita's done a matcha version (with egg whites to help foam up). Our version's secret weapon? Chocolate milk, baby!

2020 July update: @flamcis came in hot with a coffee jelly recipe on her story. Turns out it goes amaaazing with this iced dalgona mocha. Delish.
