How to Make a Good Tasting Instant Coffee

While many coffee connoisseurs turn their noses up at quick and convenient instant coffee, those powders or crystals can make brewing a cup of java a breeze. Instant coffees have a reputation for being bitter, but that doesn't have to be the case if you know how to make a cup.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Instant coffee
• Fresh water
• Kettle
• Mug
• Hot water
• Milk
• Brown sugar
• Spoon

1. Put some fresh, clean water in a kettle to boil. Run your mug under hot water, warming it thoroughly and then dry the outsides.

2. Pour your milk into the warm mug before adding anything else. Adding milk to hot coffee can scald the milk and change the flavor.

3. Spoon in brown sugar if you like your coffee sweet. Brown sugar cuts the bitterness of the instant coffee. Once you have added sugar, add a spoonful of instant coffee to the milk and stir until the sugar and coffee are dissolved.

4. Fill the mug with boiling water, stir and enjoy a good cup of instant coffee.

Tips & Warnings

• Instant coffee is far stronger than regular coffee, so generally 1 tsp. is all you need. When in doubt, start with a smaller amount and add more if necessary.
