Upside Down Cappuccino, also known as Dalgona Coffee, is perfect for hot days (or extremely hot like in this period), but also when you’re looking for a tasty alternative to the usual coffee.

It’s nothing but a “flipped” cappuccino, which became famous during the pandemic. In fact, I made it for the first time during the 2021 lockdown and I really liked it. Although it’s already on my Facebook page, I’ve never written the recipe in detail, so it’s time to fix that. 😉

The preparation is very simple: you only need 4 ingredients (instant coffee powder, sugar, water, and milk), an electric mixer, and a glass. Easy, right?

I used skimmed milk, but you can replace it with almond milk, or coconut or rice milk, or whatever you prefer. It must be cold, so just keep it in the refrigerator for at least an hour before enjoying it. Of course, you can also enjoy it hot.

But now let’s see together how to prepare the Cold Cappuccino. Gather the ingredients and let’s get started.

And if you try it, don’t forget to let me know in the comments on my Facebook page HERE. I’ll be waiting for you.

Then, pour the cold (or hot) milk into a glass, add 1 – 2 teaspoons of sugar (optional, if you want a lighter version, don’t add extra sugar), 2 cubes of ice, and finally the coffee cream.
