Our matcha tea dalgona recipe

Ground between two stones, organic matcha green tea comes in the form of a fine green powder.

The matcha dalgona recipe

While there are many recipes using matcha powder, at Kusmi, we wanted to try one of the trendiest recipes of the moment. Creamy, indulgent and lightly sweetened, dalgona is the “TikTok drink” that “broke the Internet” in 2020. At Kusmi, we are particularly fond of the green version of dalgona, made with organic matcha tea.

What is a Dalgona?

Originally from South Korea, dalgona is essentially a whipped coffee made by mixing powdered coffee, water and sugar, all topped with milk. Easy to make, indulgent and above all Instagrammable, dalgona quickly took the internet by storm. So naturally, we wanted to join in by offering a version that reflects us: a matcha tea-based dalgona.

Get your whisks ready: we’ll show you how to make the famous, indulgent matcha dalgona recipe!

How do you make a matcha tea dalgona latte?

For a delicious matcha latte dalgona, you will need:

• 2 egg whites. Unlike coffee dalgona, matcha tea dalgona foam is made with whipped egg whites.
• 2 tbsp caster sugar
• 1 tbsp organic Kusmi Tea matcha tea
• 250ml of milk (or plant-based milk)
• Ice cubes for an iced version of matcha dalgona

1. Whisk the egg whites in a bowl. Gradually add the sugar and whisk until you achieve a whipped-cream consistency.
2. Add the powdered Matcha, then whisk

3. In a glass with ice cubes, add the milk, then the Matcha foam.

The matcha latte recipe

Finally, while the dalgona matcha recipe requires a little preparation time (very little, really) and a good whisking, you should know that matcha can also simply be enjoyed as a latte. The matcha latte recipe is very simple: just prepare your matcha powder, then add your milk and/or milk foam to your preparation. Matcha pairs very well with all plant-based milks: chestnut, rice, soya… it’s up to you!
