How to make Dalgona coffee

The Dalgona coffee originated from South Korea and India and it became a trend as a result of stay at home directives to curb the spread of Covid-19. I eventually decided to give it a try and I loved it. If you are a coffee lover, then there is no doubt you would love this too. It's easy to make and  taste so good. Ingredients needed for this are: Sugar Hot Water Black Coffee (Nescafe) A cup of warm/ cold milk Tools needed are: A whisk A measuring spoon A bowl The Dalgona coffee is made by adding an equal proportion of sugar, water and black coffee. Using a proportion of 4 tablespoon (tbs), I added 4 tbs of Sugar : 4 tbs of Hot water: 4 tbs of black coffee into a bowl. The next to do is to whisk. Using your whisk you mix all 3 ingredients till you get a fluffy thick mixture. Once this is achieved, you get a glass of cold/warm milk and using a spoon scoop out some of your coffee into the cup, and that it is. Enjoy your Dalgona coffee. I have a video up on my channel that illustrates

Instead of sitting home and doing nothing, I decided to pursue a pre-degree in Lasu ( Lagos state university). I didn't like the Idea of having to go to the university from my home daily. I was bored with staying home. Don't blame me though, I haven't left my parents since I was a child, I just wanted an experience of being Independent. So, I got admitted into Lasu and started a predegree pro
