JAKARTA - Recently, cloud coffee has gone viral and is being widely discussed on social media. This coffee is unique because it uses coconut water instead of water as an additional ingredient.

The combination of coffee and coconut water creates a light, sweet, and refreshing flavor. The shape and texture of cloud coffee are actually similar to dalgona coffee.

As reported by Medscape on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, making cloud coffee is quite easy. The recipe is not much different from dalgona coffee, but uses coconut water, as follows.

Ingredients needed:

3 tablespoons ground coffee

5 tablespoons coconut water

3 tablespoons hot water

200 ml full-cream milk or plant-based milk

Ice cubes, as desired

2 teaspoons sugar

How to make:

1. Pour the coffee grounds, sugar, and hot water into a bowl, adding the coconut water.

2. Stir all the ingredients until they form a smooth mixture.

3. Pour the milk and ice cubes into a glass. If you prefer a slightly cold cloud coffee, you can skip the ice.

4. Pour the coffee mixture over the coffee, and your cloud coffee is ready to enjoy.

Besides being unique and delicious, cloud coffee can also provide health benefits when consumed in moderation. Coffee mixed with coconut is richer in nutrients, which are beneficial for hydration thanks to the electrolytes in coconut water.
