Probably many a time photos of this tempting milky drink with a creamy coffee foam have flashed on your screen, as they flooded social media during lockdown, making dalgona go viral. Perhaps the classic version did not impress you at all or you\u2019ve already got bored with it. Anyway, it’s time to forget about it and make a green variation \u2013 dalgona matcha, perfect for those who need a quick boost of energy and a kick, but are not fans of coffee, especially instant coffee. So, how to make a trendy dalgona matcha? See for yourself how easy it is.<\/big><\/strong><\/p>\n

Dalgona matcha<\/h2>\n

Dalgona matcha is another variation on a toffee-flavored frothy Korean dessert. The beverage consists of milk or plant-based milk<\/a> alternative and a thick layer of velvety foam from Japanese matcha tea<\/a>. Served in a fancy glass, it looks extremely effective and appetizing, seeming almost unattainable. And yet the recipe is quite simple and you can prepare it at home all right: both in the classic and fully vegan, and a more caloric, heavenly lush cream-based version, which will also work great as a tasty dessert.<\/p>\n

Matcha green tea<\/h2>\n

The superhero of green dalgona is, of course, matcha tea with strong stimulating properties, packed with beneficial antioxidants. An ideal option for people looking for a decent dose of natural caffeine, it will put you on your feet and improve your concentration. Unfortunately, matcha is not always grown, harvested and produced properly. Therefore, it is best to choose high-quality, certified, organic tea from a proven source. Good-quality matcha<\/strong><\/a> will reward you with excellent taste, super strength of the beverage and the lush green color of the foam. No cheap equivalent will give you such a taste sensation as tea from young, properly selected leaves.<\/p>\n

Milk or non-dairy milk alternative<\/h2>\n

Depending on whether you want to prepare a classic or an alternative vegan version of dalgona, you can use cow\u2019s milk or plant-based milk. For the vegan version, I recommend experimenting with different types of plant-based milk<\/a> alternatives, which are a great match here and provide full flavor. A wide selection creates a lot of possibilities, so there are no excuses, for sure you will find the perfect option for you. Regardless of which milk you use, it can be gently warmed or chilled with a few ice cubes to enhance the cooling effect on warmer days.<\/p>\n
