Dalgona Coffee has become the latest trend among coffee lovers across the globe. It is a whipped coffee drink named for a type of Korean candy. South Korea calls its spongy toffee candy “dalgona” or ppopgi, a candy that’s made by heating sugar, oil, and baking soda; mixing until it’s thick and fluffy; then letting the mixture harden.

The trend was first popularized in South Korea, soon spreading across the world as more countries started recommending social distancing. Due to the quarantine imposed in most of the nations, coffee lovers are getting their caffeine kick with the frothy version.
