This TikTok Shows You How To Make Creamy Coffee Using Fewer Dishes

ICYMI, creamy coffee–or Dalgona coffee, as it’s truly called–has been dominating TikTok as one of the most delicious drinks to whip up. The viral trend doesn’t involve many ingredients or dishes, but one brilliant TikTok user came up with a method that involves less effort and even fewer dishes.

To make the whipped coffee drink, all you need is equal parts instant coffee, sugar, and water. If you don’t have a hand mixer, you have to whisk the mixture 400 times give or take before you add it to milk and ice. If you simply do not have that kind of energy in you (hi, I feel you), TikTok user @melliemelanie figured out how to make it a bit easier. It’s straightforward: Add the ingredients into the glass you plan to drink out of instead of putting them in a bowl. Insert the whisk into the cup and rub it between your hands until the mix is fluffy. Pour milk in and throw some ice on top. Voilà! You have a creamy coffee drink.

If part of the reason you’re making this whipped coffee is for the aesthetics of the whipped part on top of the milk, this hack isn’t for you. But if you’re only in it for the delicious coffee and could care less about what it looks like, you need to try this method. A good cup of coffee that takes less effort to make and clean up? Count me in.
