How to make instant coffee
Do you want to know how to make instant coffee? So, you've hit snooze on your alarm seven times, your head is foggy and you're already ten minutes late to work. You need your morning caffeine injection but have no time to hit up your favourite little corner shop café. How will you get through the day? Enter Instant coffee, centre stage! This spoon-and-pour beverage isn't exactly the barista-crafted double espresso you were hoping for, but with no barista training up your sleeve, it's the next best thing. It may seem simple, but we are here to give you tips and steps to make the best of your barista-free experience: Tip 1: Buy yourself a higher quality brand of instant coffee. It is not the difference in the brand but the difference in quality that we are going for here. Starting with a higher quality coffee will immediately improve the taste of your final product. Tip 2: Always use fresh water to boil in your kettle. Using fresh water each time you boil your kettle also impacts the overall flavour of the cup of coffee you end up with. The best results come from using water that is only boiled once.
Step 1: Measure your coffee
Put your kettle on to boil and measure your coffee into your mug. Use 1 small heaped teaspoon (equivalent to 5ml), or follow measurement directions on the coffee packaging.
Step 2: Dissolve in cold water
Add a small amount of cold water, just enough to begin dissolving the coffee. This an optional step but it often gives the coffee an overall smoother taste.
Step 3: Add boiled water
Pour in the boiled water we prepared in Step 1. Due to the processing methods used to make instant coffee, the flavour profile is already developed, so water temperature in this circumstance is not heavily significant to your end product.
Step 4: Add milk and sugar
You can stop at Step 3 if you prefer your coffee black. If not, add small amounts of milk and sugar to taste. Adding milk and sugar in small increments will allow you to adjust the flavour more easily. More sugar or milk can always be added but once there is too much of either there is no going back. And there you have it. You’ve successfully made an instant coffee ready to drink ready to accidentally spill in your car, as you rush off to start your day!
