I admitted I am a bit late posting this viral drink. This whipped coffee drink wildly became phenomenal across Instagram a few months ago. People called this "Dalgona" coffee (latte).

The recipe originated in South Korea and requires only four ingredients; instant coffee, sugar, hot water, and milk.

Honestly, before this coffee became viral I never knew that if we whip the instant coffee powder and hot water (in the same portion) it will be creamy and has whipped cream consistency 😃

So, what is dalgona? 

Dalgona in Korea is a honeycomb sugar toffee. İt's a candy made with melted sugar and baking soda. It was a popular street snack in the 1970s and 1980s and is still eaten as a retro food. It has a different name for each region. When a pinch of baking soda is mixed into melted sugar, the thermal decomposition of the baking soda releases carbon dioxide, which makes the liquidized sugar puff up, and it becomes light and crunchy candy once cooled and hardened. Typically, the creamy beige liquid is poured on a flat surface, pressed flat, and stamped with a patterned mold.

One South Korean cafe combines this dalgona with milk tea or coffee.  This one that actually calls dalgona coffee.

But since Covid-19 pandemic spread worldwide, some people trying to make their own "dalgona coffee" at home and hashtag #dalgonacoffeechallenge become very popular across the internet. People tried to imitate the cafe version of dalgona coffee by using instant coffee powder. And what is popular then is "dalgona coffee" which doesn't actually contain dalgona or honeycomb sugar toffee.

Bored summer?

Even in Turkey apply "new normal" since last June, but personally, me and my family still feel unsafe. I have a perception in this pandemic time: "Nobody saves until everybody saves"

So we decided still to stay at home, enjoy our summer at home. Home gardening in our balcony and do small but fun things together.

General Tso's chicken is a sweet deep-fried chicken dish that is served in North American Chinese restaurants. The dish is named after Zuo Zongtang (also romanized Tso Tsung-t'ang), a Qing dynasty statesman and military leader, although there is no recorded connection to him nor is the dish known in Hunan, Zuo's home province.

A dish made of deep-fried batter-coated pieces of chicken that are cooked in a sweet, tangy, and sometimes spicy sauce. Some vegetables commonly served.

Even this dish is so popular in US, you might be surprised to learn that General Tso’s chicken is actually not very big in China — and it doesn’t even originate from mainland China. In fact, it hasn’t even been around for long: Its creation is widely credited to Peng Chang-kuei (who recently died) in 1952.

Summer is at its peak. The only thing that comes to mind when the summer is getting hot is cold drinks. To beat the heat also to be healthy at the same time and not to leave our body to dehydrate. The favorite choice is this Turkish "Reyhan Şerbeti".

Reyhan means Red basil while şerbeti from word şerbet literally means sherbet or syrup.

Not to be confused with frozen sherbet/ sorbet.
The sherbet, which is very popular in West and East Asia, comes from the Arabic word “shariba”. If it means “drinking". 

So what is this sherbet? Sherbet is a refreshing and healthy syrup usually made from fruit, flower extracts, and herbs. The main ingredient is sugar and water. The prepared ingredient is then diluted with water and sugar is added for taste. 

It is also served with ice to add coolness. For some syrups, milk is also used instead of water. Lime juice is also added to most sorbet recipes. For this reason, lime water helps prevent the sugar from crystallizing in the syrup and enriches the flavor. 

There are hundreds of varieties of sherbet can be made. Start from flowers, fruits, herbs, and spices. And they are not only prepared for hot summer, adding some warm herbs and spices, these sherbets perfect for warming up your body during wintertime.

My today post is about this ancient healthy yet refreshing beverage. And for cold down the summer heat, I will share Red basil sherbet or called "Reyhan Şerbeti".

I have a pot of red basil that needs to be harvested, so making this sherbet isn't just cool down my summer, but also keep my red basil plant alive and healthy 😊

But anybody knows the benefit of Red basil?

EASY AND TASTY NO KNEAD ARTISAN BREAD

During pandemic and quarantine time, I see many people have a trend to bake their own bread. I am with you my friends, baking our own bread is giving us undescribed happiness and satisfaction. Nothing more heaven than the smell of bread baking in the oven.

I started baking my own bread since 2009 when I am married my husband. Learning by doing. You can check my "Bread and buns" category to see my "baking bread journey" 😊 . And I am still want to learn more and bake more 🥖

The most bread I bake and serve to my family is sandwich white bread. Also, Turkish Pide bread which always on our dinner table every weekend. There are some versions of Pide bread, No-knead version, knead version, and Pide bread with poolish method.

And today I will share my latest bread recipe; a hearty, rustic of no-knead artisan bread

Artisan bread is a term that has no absolute definition but refers to a style of short shelf-life bread that is usually offered unpackaged (in baskets) and consumed immediately after baking for maximum freshness.

The term artisan bread conjures the image of artisan bakers who are masters of their craft, shaping bread by hand and only using the basic bread ingredients: flour, water, yeast, salt, and most importantly time. This is a stark contrast to the standardized, repeatable, and industrially produced bread that is often found in the supermarket bread aisle.~~ Bakerpedia.com
