Dalgona Bandung Recipe: IG-Worthy Rose Drink Inspired By The Viral Korean Latte

Dalgona bandung drink for a touch of local savour With everyone stuck at home during this Circuit Breaker period, DIY food trends and home recipes have been on the rise.

Dalgona Bandung Recipe: IG-Worthy Rose Drink Inspired By The Viral Korean Latte

Most prominently, the viral Dalgona coffee recipe that began in Korea has taken over Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok by storm, having all of us whisking like mad at home. No need to feel left out if you aren’t a big coffee drinker, we’ve come up with some caffeine-free recipes, such as our Dalgona bandung and Dalgona Speculoos milk that’ll achieve the same effect!

Dalgona Speculoos Milk Recipe: Non-Caffeinated Take On The Viral Korean Latte Though adapted from the classic Indian rose milk drink, this iconic pink beverage actually originated in Southeast Asia. For our Dalgona bandung , we’ll be staying true to the origins of the beverage, and using only two elements for its cloud-like pink topping: heavy whipping cream and rose syrup.

If you’re finding an excuse to use that bottle of rose cordial sitting in your cupboard, head to the bottom of this article for the full method! The process To achieve maximum volume in your whipped topping, a pro tip is to keep your components and tools chilled before you start.

Begin by placing a mixing bowl and whisk, or hand mixer attachment, into the freezer for a couple of minutes. If you’re using a hand mixer, start on low speed and gradually uptick it to medium-high speed as the cream starts to thicken. To check if the cream is ready, turn off the machine and lightly run the mixer attachment or whisk across the cream.

Add in the rose syrup and whisk it in for another minute or so till the syrup is well incorporated. You’ll know that it’s ready when the cream takes on an even shade of pink. If you prefer a more subtle rose fragrance, you can always reduce the amount of rose syrup you put in at this stage!

Scrape the bowl down as you go with a spoon or spatula so that the cream is whipped evenly all the way through. Be careful not to over whip your cream as heavy cream can sometimes curdle and turn grainy.

Top the cold milk with the pink Dalgona bandung fluff and take as many aesthetic IG stories as you wish. The fluffy whipped cream may start to sink into the milk if you take too long with your Instagramming! Dalgona bandung method Yield : Serves 1 Cooking time : 10 minutes Ingredients : 1 cup heavy cream 2½ tablespoon rose syrup Ice Milk Directions : Pour cold heavy cream into a chilled bowl and whisk at low speed for one minute.

Gradually uptick the speed to medium-high as the cream thickens and continue to whisk for around five minutes. Add the rose syrup into the whipped cream and whisk again. Fill up the glass with ice and milk, and spoon the rose-flavoured whipped cream on top.
