Hojicha Topped With Frothy Coffee


Frothy coffee (Dalgona coffee) is having its moment, and this is one home cafe trend everyone is eager to try out for themselves. In this recipe, we show you how to create a perfectly whipped coffee for a delicious addition to your iced hojicha latte.

This Macau style coffee is traditionally hand-stirred over 400 times until it becomes fluffy. Since this method can take well over 20 minutes, we decided to speed things up. While it can also be done with a hand-held frother, the quickest way to make Dalgona coffee is with the help of a hand mixer.

After a few minutes of beating equal parts of your desired type of sugar, instant coffee, and hot water you’ll begin to notice the stunning transformation. The resulting creamy topping is beautiful and tasty, as its flavor is reminiscent of Dalgona candy or Honeycomb Toffee.

Save this recipe to enjoy hojicha topped with frothy coffee the next time you’re looking for a sweet mid-morning pick-me-up.
