Instant Coffee

• To quickly prepare a hot cup of coffee, simply add instant coffee granules to hot water and stir until dissolved. Adjust the amount of granules to your preferred strength.
• As a flavoring agent in baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and brownies, instant coffee enhances the chocolate notes and adds depth of flavor. Dissolve the granules in a small amount of hot water before incorporating it into the batter.
• In coffee-flavored desserts like tiramisu or coffee mousse, instant coffee provides a concentrated coffee flavor without adding excess liquid. It can be mixed into the cream or custard base.
• To create a cold coffee beverage, dissolve instant coffee in a small amount of hot water first, then add cold water, ice, and milk or creamer to your liking. Sweeten as desired.
• As an ingredient in rubs and marinades for meats, instant coffee adds a savory and slightly bitter note that complements the richness of beef, pork, or chicken. Combine it with other spices and herbs for a complex flavor profile.
• To make a quick coffee-based sauce or gravy, dissolve instant coffee in a small amount of broth or water and whisk it into the sauce. This adds depth and complexity to savory dishes.

Store instant coffee in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Properly sealed, it can maintain its quality for a considerable time. Avoid storing it in humid areas like above the stove, as moisture can cause clumping and degrade the flavor. An opened container should be consumed within a few months for optimal taste.
