Making Instant Coffee Delicious: Expert Tips from FrontStreet Coffee

Does making instant coffee really need to be taught? Of course! Do you think instant coffee is just simple coffee powder mixed with hot water? No, no, no! Simple, convenient, and quick instant coffee actually has its dignity! With the wrong method, the brewed coffee will still turn out poorly! Nowadays, many people love drinking coffee, almost needing a cup every day. Without it, they feel completely drained of energy! Coffee shop coffee tastes great, but the prices are certainly not cheap! Today, FrontStreet Coffee will teach everyone several tips to make store-bought instant coffee even more delicious!

Basic Brewing Method

First, using this method, instant coffee will brew more deliciously:

Method/Steps

1. Scoop 1 tablespoon of instant coffee into a cup.
2. Pour 1 tablespoon of cold water over the coffee, ensuring complete fusion.
3. Pour in 1.4 liters of hot water, stir briefly, and it's ready to drink.

Important Notes

The principle behind this method is that direct brewing with hot water will cause the starch inside the coffee to harden, affecting the texture. Using a small amount of cold water first can avoid this impact.

Five Ways to Enhance Your Instant Coffee

1. Fresh Milk

Many people dislike instant coffee mainly because its taste is too weak, feeling like drinking water rather than coffee. However, adding plenty of fresh milk will give it another flavor dimension. If we want a cup of hot coffee, adding rice or milk is a good choice. If you do this, you'll find the effect is better, with a taste dozens of times better than usual.

2. Add Ice Cubes

Summer is here, and if you need a cold drink, then iced coffee is the best choice. First, take a small cup of coffee powder, put it in a cup, brew it with hot water, then pour it over ice cubes prepared in advance. Let it stir for a while, and you'll drink a super delicious and thirst-quenching iced coffee.

3. Add Chocolate Powder

The taste of coffee is too common. Do you like sweet things? Do you like the taste of chocolate added to coffee? Do you have a craving for chocolate? As long as we add cocoa powder to the coffee, brew it together with the coffee, then add hot water to dissolve it, and stir well - a sweet cup of coffee emerges.

4. Add Some Seasoning Spices

Adding some cinnamon powder to coffee will give it more of a British flavor, or mint leaves (mint powder also works) to add some freshness to coffee you've grown tired of. Adding mint will give you a very fresh feeling and can make you happy all day.

5. Add Honey

I personally prefer adding honey to coffee to increase sweetness. I think honey has a more natural taste. Additionally, honey can also eliminate the bitterness of coffee.

Conclusion

As long as we put in a little more thought, we can also brew coffee at home with a taste like coffee shops, and it doesn't cost that much money. This feeling is truly wonderful!
