This recipe puts a spin on the classic Dalgona or whipped coffee recipe. While Dalgona coffee is a bit more work than a normal iced coffee recipe, its value comes in how it utilizes instant coffee to create a coffee drink with a unique, creamy texture. The honey adds a touch of sweetness and flavor, and the salt emphasizes the many flavors in this drink while also balancing out some of the sweetness. Make sure to save the salt to add after whipping the foam, though, because the salt can negatively impact the development of long-lasting bubbles that make up the foam.
