Yes, the coffee which is going viral on social media is the same regular coffee that you have at your home every single day.
The process of making Dalgona coffee is simple. All you have to do is to mix coffee powder & crushed sugar in hot water. Then you're supposed to whisk it or beat the mixture with a spoon till its texture changes into a frothy mixture. Add that to cold milk and ice in a glass and top it with frothy coffee paste.
While the #DalgonaCoffee has stirred up a storm on social media with videos and pictures of those who have tried it flooding the internet, Indians feel 'it's just fetti hui coffee that went abroad for higher studies'.

Take that you fancy French press brewed coffee - you will never provide the comfort that a foamy sugary coffee does!#dalgonacoffee
Dalgona coffee is nothing more than phitti hui coffee that Indian grandmothers have used as a tactic to wake up their grandkids for decades.
