Dalgona Cinnamon Coffee Recipe

Dalgona Cinnamon Coffee Recipe

Life begins after coffee! Dalgona Coffee that is! ;)

Life begins after coffee right? I can’t function (very well) until I’ve had my cup of joe in the morning. Being at home more, has meant more time to experiment in the kitchen and actually MAKE my own coffee, vs rushing to Starbucks before work (if I have time) or making a coffee run to the little coffee cart at the hospital when I get a minute. Dalgona coffee is currently the internet’s favorite drink right now, I’ve seen so many variations of this drink but decided to take it up a notch. I added a pinch of cinnamon to my coffee froth to make some Dalgona Cinnamon Coffee! It is delicious!

Ingredients to make Dalgona Cinnamon Coffee

Here’s What You Need

Ingredients
– 3 tablespoons of hot water
– 3 tablespoons of sugar
– 3 tablespoons of instant coffee- 1 teaspoon of powdered cinnamon
– Milk or a vegetal beverage of your choice

Dalgona coffee is currently the internet’s favorite drink right now! I’ve seen so many variations of this drink but decided to take it up a notch.

How to Make it

Instructions
1. In a bowl, put together 3 tablespoons of instant coffee, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and 3 tablespoons of boiling water.
2. Beat everything well, with a hand mixer or a whisk until everything is well beaten and the consistency is similar to whipped cream.

Mixing up the Dalgona Cinnamon Coffee

3. Add the cinnamon and mix a minute more.
4. Fill a mug until about 2/3 with milk. You can use cold or warm milk according to your preferences, or you can also use a vegetal beverage of your choice. You can also use ice for an even fresher beverage. 
5. On top, put a few spoons of the whipped coffee.
6. Your Cinnamon Dalgona coffee is ready! Use a spoon (or a cinnamon stick!) to mix the coffee with the milk as you drink it. Using powdered cinnamon on top more is more for decoration than necessity!

Dalgona Cinnamon Coffee ready to drink!

You can use whatever quantities you prefer, as long as you use the same amount of hot water, sugar, and instant coffee. This is enough for two big cups.

Bruxie Introduces the Bold Blend!

Bruxie Introduces the Bold Blend!
By Erin

Looking for a morning pick me up to get your day going? Most mornings I need a good cup of joe to help wake myself up and to get going. This is where Bruxie comes in, but honestly I could have Bruxie for breakfast, lunch and dinner! 😉  Earlier this week I was invited to come in and try out Bruxie’s new custom crafted coffee, The BOLD Blend! I have been a long time fan of Bruxie ever since I saw friends post some mouthwatering photos of the offerings here on their Facebook pages back in 2010. I was determined to go try this place out after that and planned a meet-up for brunch at the Orange location with a local meet-up group that I am an assistant organizer for. I’ve been hooked ever since! Now that they have this amazing Bold Blend Coffee to compliment the waffle sandwiches, I will be even more tempted to go here!

Bruxie  now offers a new locally roasted proprietary blend of 100% Fair Trade Coffee lovingly called “The Bold Blend.” The idea is to offer folks a coffee experience that would be bold and complex enough to stand up to and complement the flavors on the Bruxie menu. After trying it myself, I would have to say they have succeeded! 🙂

Pictured with the Bold Blend here is the Green Eggs & Ham, Lemon Cream & Berries, and Smoked Salmon Lox & Dill Cream Cheese. All are heavenly and will leave you craving more. I always am!

“From the very first sip, guests will find a pleasant linger on the palate that will evolve into a combination of savory, sweet, and even floral nuances.”

Don’t forget to partner up your coffee with your favorite Bruxie Breakfast Sandwich! 😉  Continue reading »
