What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Table Food: Dalgona Espresso Shots! If it’s one thing I learned during our time of self-isolation, it was how to make each day something special to look forward to. So every afternoon, in the middle of our day, I’d stop what I was doing and pad off to the kitchen for a delightful diversion. Thanks to my virtual friends, Jyothi* and Judy**, I became a connoisseur of the “Coffee Break”. Both women perfected the art of Dalgona Coffee, a form of whipped coffee that requires only a few simple ingredients: instant coffee, sugar, and milk. (Feel free to click on their links at the bottom of the page.) I became quite lazy about whipping the topping into a mountain of fluff by allowing the milk frother on my espresso machine to become the workhorse. At the press of a button, it became thick, frothy, and ready to pour. Although the aroma would waft throughout the house announcing my arrival, I’d still carry the espresso shots into my husband’s office and proclaim with a smile, “Time for coffee.”
DALGONA ESPRESSO SHOTS
Ingredients:
4 teaspoons sugar
4 teaspoons instant Mexican espresso coffee
4 teaspoons cold water
Light cream, for serving
Dark chocolate espresso beans, crushed, for garnish
Instructions:
Using a milk frother, combine sugar, instant espresso coffee, and cold water. Press the setting for a cold beverage. Let the machine run through two cycles to thicken the whipped coffee. Fill two espresso shot glasses 3/4 full with light cream. Carefully spoon the whipped espresso topping over the cream. Garnish with a sprinkling of crushed chocolate-covered espresso beans. Serve immediately.

Hmmm. Never heard of camel milk, and pretty sure it’s not available locally. 🐪🥛🐫

There is camel milk “locally”. A company named The Camel Milk Co in Colorado State supplies camel milk to a few hundreds of health food stores across America.
It is quite plain, just slightly salty tasting. Excellent in milkshakes, hot chocolate, cereals, tea, béchamel sauce, cakes, making them so light and digestible. Its benefits are unparalleled: low calorie and cholesterol, safe for lactose intolerant people and those with milk protein allergies.

You will understand why camel milk is the future when you read the post tomorrow. As it is expensive, I don’t suggest that you buy now, but if you wanted to get some, there are firms delivering to your door.
