Ingredients for Basic Instant Coffee
1 cup (236.588 milliliters) hot water
1 – 2 teaspoons instant coffee
1 – 2 teaspoons sugar (optional)
Milk or creamer (optional)
Cocoa, spices, or vanilla extract (optional)
1: Start boiling some water. For this recipe, you will
need some very hot, almost-boiling water. You can boil some water by putting
water in a kettle and turning on the stove. You can also use a coffee maker, an
electric kettle, or even a cup and microwave. Take the water off the stove just
before it starts to boil. If you are using a coffee maker or a microwave, then
just let the water cool down a little bit before using it.
2: Add the
coffee. How much coffee you use depends on how big your cup is, how much water
you will be using, and your personal preferences. Most instant coffee
containers will tell you on the label how much instant coffee you should use to
get the best taste. In general, most companies recommend using one to two
teaspoons of instant coffee per cup of water (8 fluid ounces/236.588
milliliters)
3: Add the sugar and spices. At this point, you
can add in some sugar. You will need about one teaspoon of sugar per cup
(236.588 milliliters) of coffee. Adding your sugar and spices before the water
helps blend everything together better and prevents the spices from floating to
the top. Once you have added your sugar and flavorings in, give your base
another stir to blend everything together. Here are some ideas on how you can
flavor your instant coffee:
●
If you
love chocolate, consider adding some cocoa powder or chocolate syrup.
●
For a more
traditional taste, add a few drops of vanilla extract.
●
Add a dash
of ground spices for a unique flavor. Consider using any of the following
spices: allspice, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
●
Consider
skipping the sugar and spices and use flavored coffee creamer instead. If you
choose to do this, fill the rest of the cup with hot water, and then add in the
flavored creamer.
4: Pour in the hot
water. Just before the water starts to boil, take it off the heat source
and pour it into the cup. You will need about one cup (236.588 milliliters) of
hot water.
5: Add some milk or cream. You can use any
type of milk or creamer you like, such as whole milk, half-and-half, or even
coconut milk. The amount you use depends on your preferences. You can also omit
the milk or creamer altogether and drink your instant coffee black.
●
Consider
using some flavored coffee creamer instead. Keep in mind that most flavored
coffee creamers are very sweet. If you have already added some sugar to your
coffee, a flavored coffee creamer will make it even more sweet.
6: Stir your coffee and serve it. Before
you can drink your coffee, or serve it for someone else to drink, you will need
to stir it using a spoon.
This helps blend everything together and dissolve the coffee granules
