You don't have to have a coffee maker to enjoy instant coffee.Unlike ground coffee, instant coffee is made from coffee.Even though you can't make the actual coffee at home, instant coffee is still a great way to get your fix.It's great when iced, and you could make it even better by adding spices, whipping up a fancy latte or making a coffee shake.
Step 1: Place a cup of water in the microwave.
To quickly heat a cup of water, microwave it.You could heat it on the stove.Just before it starts to boil, take the water off of the stove.Put 1 cup of water in the microwave.If you want to make more, use more water.It is easier to pour hot water into a mug if you use a kettle.
Step 2: Add some instant coffee to the mug.
You should check the instant coffee container's label to see how much you should use.For 1 cup of water, most companies recommend using 1 to 2 ounces.
Step 3: The coffee should be dissolved with a bit of cold water.
It's a good idea to mix the coffee with cold water.If you want to improve the flavor of the coffee, gently dissolving it instead of shocking it with hot water is the way to go.
Step 4: Take the hot water and put it in the mug.
If you aren't using a kettle, add the water carefully.If you don't like your coffee black, leave room for milk or creamer.
Step 5: If you want, mix in sugar or spices.
Adding sugar or spices to the coffee will give it a richer flavor.Add a dash of sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, or allspice.
Step 6: If you don't like black coffee, add milk or cream.
Milk, cream, and other non-dairy options can be spooned into your coffee.If you like your coffee light or dark, use the right amount.If you want to drink your coffee black, you can skip the milk or creamer.
Step 7: Place your coffee in a container and serve it.
Give the coffee a good stir before you drink it.If you are using them, mix it until it is uniform in color to evenly blend the milk and sugar.
Step 8: A cup of hot water and 2 cups of instant coffee.
The water should be in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute.Once the coffee and hot water are dissolved, drink it.If you want to drink from a separate cup, place your coffee in a glass.Make sure the cup you use is microwaveable.Water can be microwaved in a measuring cup or other vessel if you want to pour the coffee over ice.
Step 9: If you want, add sugar or spices to the mixture.
Before the ice and cold water or milk, add sugar or spices.The warm mixture will help with the dissolution of sugar, cinnamon, and other ingredients.
Step 10: You can add cold water or milk to the warm mixture.
Cold milk is better for iced coffee.When everything is combined and evenly distributed, stir.
Step 11: Coffee can be poured over some ice.
Slowly pour your coffee over the ice in a tall glass.Add ice to the coffee you want to drink.
Step 12: The instant iced coffee should be served right away.
Add a straw to your iced coffee and sip it straight from the glass.It's best to serve or drink it before the ice starts melting.
Step 13: Take a cup of hot water and add a little instant coffee.
The water should be in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds.When the coffee is completely dissolved, add the instant coffee.The mug you are going to use has water and coffee in it.The mug needs to fit at least one cup.
Step 14: If you'd like, add sugar or spices.
If you like your latte sweet, you can add a dash of sugar, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, or a flavor of coffee syrup.Add it to the mug and stir.
Step 15: Milk can be put in a sealed jar.
Seal the jar and shake it hard for 30 to 60 seconds.You can froth the milk for your latte.
Step 16: For 30 seconds, milk can be microwaved.
After removing the jar's lid, heat the milk.The foam will rise to the top of the milk.
Step 17: The hot milk should be poured into the mug.
Use a large spoon to hold back the froth as you pour the hot milk into the coffee base.When it is uniform in color, stir the mixture.
Step 18: The latte should have milk foam or whipped cream on top.
If you want to add more richness to the latte, you can spoon the milk froth from the jar over it.
Step 19: The latte should be served immediately after a sprinkle of spices.
You can sprinkle the milk foam or whipped cream with a variety of spices.While it is hot, serve it quickly because the milk is still frothy.
Step 20: Plug it in after you set up your blender.
Make sure your blender is off and plug it in when you take it out of storage.Double check that the lid is tight.
Step 21: The ice, coffee, milk, and sugar should be added to the blender.
Combine 6 ice cubes, a small amount of coffee, milk, and sugar.If you want to add more chocolate syrup, you can.
Step 22: The mixture should be blend on high for 2 to 3 minutes.
Turn on the blender by putting the lid on it.As you blend everything, hold your hand on the lid.The final product should be thick and smooth.Add more milk if the consistency is too thick.Add an ice cube if the consistency is too thin.
Step 23: The coffee should be poured into the glass.
Slowly pour the shake into the glass after the blender is turned off.You might have to use a spoon or spatula.
Step 24: There is a swirl of chocolate syrup or chips at the end.
Whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or shaved pieces of chocolate can be added.You can top the shake with whipped cream, then dust it with cocoa or chocolate.
Step 25: You can serve your coffee shake immediately.
It has a chance to melt if you start sipping or serving it.You can drink it from the glass or a large straw.If you serve it with chocolate shavings or whipped cream, a spoon might be useful.
