Several media outlets have noted the drink's similarity to the Indian coffee beverage known as ''phenti hui''<!-- फेंटी हुई --> coffee, ''phitti hui''<!-- फेटी हुई --> coffee, or [[beaten coffee]]. The main difference is that when making ''phenti hui'' coffee, milk is poured on top of the whipped mix rather than spooning the whipped mix on top of the milk.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Gupta|first=Arunima|date=5 April 2020|title=Why S.

Dalgona coffee is a beverage made by whipping equal parts instant coffee powder, sugar, and hot water until it becomes creamy and then adding it to cold or hot milk.[5] Occasionally, it is topped with coffee powder, cocoa, crumbled biscuits, or honey.[6] It was popularized on social media during the COVID-19 pandemic, when people refraining from going out started making videos of whipping the coffee at home, by hand without using electrical mixers.[7] The name is derived from dalgona, a Korean sugar candy, due to the resemblance in taste and appearance, though most dalgona coffee doesn't actually contain dalgona.
The drink is credited to one Leong Kam Hon, a former Macanese shipwright who started his ‘Wai Ting Coffee’ (or later ‘Hon Kee’, 漢記) shop in Coloane after a freak accident to his left arm left him incapacitated from continuing work. Leong recalls concocting the drink as requested by a tourist couple in 1997. The drink did not yield much interest to him until 2004 when he took on the idea to serve it as a specialty to Chow Yun-fat and his entourage who visited the Hon Kee café that year. Chow's praise for the drink gathered the first wave of international attention when new visitors came in to ask for ‘Chow Yun-fat coffee’.[8][1] The maker himself dubs the drink made in his menu as 手打咖啡 or "hand beaten coffee".
The name "dalgona coffee" is credited to the South Korean actor Jung Il-woo, who ordered this drink at the same eatery in January 2020 during his appearance on KBS2 show called Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant (신상출시 편스토랑). He likened the taste to that of dalgona, a type of Korean honeycomb toffee.[9][10][11]
Following the broadcast of that TV programme, dalgona coffee became popular among Koreans who attempted to make this drink for themselves during the social distancing orders in South Korea. As a result, it was dubbed the “quarantine drink” or “quarantine coffee”.[7][12] Under the hashtag #dalgonacoffeechallenge, homemade versions of dalgona coffee began spreading on South Korean YouTube channels before going viral on TikTok especially in early March of the same year.[13][14][11] The spike in interest during the quarantine period has been attributed to the calming, ASMR-like effects of watching online DIY videos.[15][16] Although the beverage was popularized as a homemade version of whipped coffee, it became a menu item at many coffee shops in South Korea.[17] and even in the U.S.[18]
While most dalgona coffee doesn't actually contain dalgona, one South Korean cafe does combine dalgona with milk tea or coffee.[19] It is not possible to make dalgona coffee using ground coffee beans; instant coffee creates the dense and foamy topping and the reason for this has much to do with the drying process of the coffee granules.[20]
Several media outlets have noted the drink's similarity to the Indian coffee beverage known as phenti hui coffee, phitti hui coffee, or beaten coffee. The main difference is that when making phenti hui coffee, milk is poured on top of the whipped mix rather than spooning the whipped mix on top of the milk.[21][22][23]
The drink itself has origins from Rajasthan(India) where it is also known as whipped coffee or beaten coffee
The trend is credited to actor Jung Il-woo after appearing on the show "Pyunstorang." He went to Macau where he was served with a handmade drink. Jung said it was delicious and reminded him of dalgona candy. He called it Macau Dalgona coffee.
The craze started percolating in late January, according to Google Trends, then gained traction near the end of February when a Korean YouTuber posted a now viral, ASMR-style video of how to make the creamy drink.
That's why, over the last few days, people have been sharing their attempts (especially on TikTok) at making Dalgona coffee.
