      Good Instant Coffee

      Steps

      1. Put water in a kettle and plug it in. If you do not have a kettle, then put water in a pot and put it on the stove. Or use an immersion heater and warm up the water in a seperate heat-proof mug. The easiest method is to use a microwave.
      2. Take the instant coffee and put about one slightly rounded teaspoon (this may vary based upon how strong one likes their coffee) in a mug.
      3. Pour the very hot (nearly boiling) water into the mug.
      4. Add fresh whole milk, fresh half-and-half, or non-dairy creamer to the coffee if desired. Evaporated milk from a can (undiluted) may also be used, and sugar.
      5. Flavorings such as vanilla extract, cocoa powder, or ground cinnamon may be added at this time. If the coffee has been modified, then stir thoroughly until all extra ingredients have been dissolved.

      Tips

      * All the additives and measurements vary based on the person so be sure that you know what you like!
      * The sugar, creamer, and/or flavorings may be measured into the cup before adding the water.
      * Store instant coffee in the freezer in an air-tight container in order to maintain that fresh aroma that it has when you first open the new container.
      * If desired, you may use artificial sweeteners instead of sugar. However, be aware that aspartame (Nutrasweet/Equal) breaks down with heat, so it loses sweetness over time. This does not occur with saccharin (Sweet N Low) or sucralose (Splenda).
      * You might want to add the milk to the mug before adding the boiling water.

      Warnings

      * Even though instant coffee doesn’t contain as much caffeine as brewed coffee, it still has a substantial amount of the drug. Too much caffeine can lead to health problems.
      * Making instant coffee means being close to water which is at scalding temperatures. Take reasonable safety precautions when around extremely hot water.
