How to Make a Better Cup of Instant Coffee

James Yeang’s post 10 Tips to Make Better Coffee got me thinking: you don’t always get time to make proper coffee every morning in a house with kids, dogs, cats and goldfish demanding your attention. If you still need your coffee but only have time to grab a cup of instant, there are a few things you can do to improve your morning cuppa.You’ll need:

• a jar of instant coffee
• a mug
• a kettle
• a bit of milk or soya
• a mini-whisk

1. Boil the kettle. This will give you at least a minute or two to do other chores
2. Put 1-2 teaspoons of instant coffee in a mug
3. Fill a quarter of the cup with water.
4. Whisk the coffee for about 30 seconds with one of those dinky mini-whisks you got for Christmas and have never used
5. Add a drop of milk/soya and hot water and continue to whisk for about 30 seconds
6. Find a quiet spot to enjoy a frothy instant latte.
