For some reason I think of it as an older concept. Now Starbucks and coffee chains are popular.

Highlighting carlcook’s advice:
dissolve in cold water, ONLY THEN add hot water. The rationale behind it is that aromatics evaporate too quickly when the instant powder is infused with too/boiling hot water.
I don’t drink instant as my daily coffee, but I do use it for baking and cocktails. When you want coffee flavor in something without the grainy texture of coffee grinds, instant coffee is the best solution because it dissolves entirely. It’s great for ice cream, frosting, coffee cake, coffee syrup, or anything else of the sort. I’ve also found that the quality of instant coffee has improved significantly over the years, so it does actually make a pretty decent cup of coffee in a pinch.
Can you add it to…
…coffee?
Ah yes, I love my coffee flavor coffee with a shot of espresso.
You can add the instant coffee to coffee and some powdered milk to some milk for it and then you’ll have more coffee per coffee and milk per milk than anyone else
Yo dawg!
For ice cream you can also seep with whole beans and then strain. Uses a lot more beans, of course.
That’s a really good idea
