How to make ‘Dalgona bandung’:

1. Using an electric hand-held mixer, whisk cold heavy cream at low speed for one minute. As it gets foamier, increase the speed and continue the process for five minutes. It can take a while for the cream to reach stiff peaks. (It is advisable to use an electric mixer instead of whipping it by hand as you may not get the desired texture. If you don’t have an electric mixer, you could also use an electric whisk or a milk frother.)
2. Add a few tablespoons of rose syrup into the fluffy cream according to your taste. If you prefer a subtle hint of rose syrup, three tablespoons of the concoction is recommended.
3. Whisk the mixture until it takes on a shade of light pink and has a cream-like consistency. Make sure the syrup is well-incorporated.
4. Fill ⅔ of your favourite tall glass with milk and add some ice.
5. Spoon dollops of the frothed bandung mixture on the top and swirl it into the milk.
