Easy Sinamak (Spiced Vinegar) Recipe

Sinamak (Spiced Vinegar) is of Visayan origin. Made with chilis (commonly siling labuyo), langkawas, garlic, peppercorns, and white onion pickled for at least three days.

Langkawas (Alpinia galanga) is a plant in the ginger family that bears a rhizome used largely as an herb in medicine and as a spice in Arab cuisine and Southeast Asian cookery. It is one of four plants known as “galangal”. Its common names include greater galangal, lengkuas, and blue ginger. Since this is not very common, we will use lemongrass as a substitute.

Easy Creamy Dalgona Coffee Recipe

Dalgona coffee is a beverage made by whipping equal parts instant coffee powder, sugar, and hot water until it becomes creamy and then adding it to cold or hot milk.

Easy Creamy Dalgona Coffee Recipe

What is Dalgona Coffee?

Dalgona coffee is a beverage made by whipping equal parts instant coffee powder, sugar, and hot water until it becomes creamy and then adding it to cold or hot milk. Occasionally, it is topped with coffee powder, cocoa, crumbled biscuits, or honey. It was popularized on social media during the COVID-19 pandemic, when people refraining from going out started making videos of whipping the coffee at home, by hand without using electrical mixers. The name is derived from dalgona, a Korean sugar candy, due to the resemblance in taste and appearance, though most dalgona coffee doesn’t actually contain dalgona.
