How it’s done.

  1. 1

    Heat water to just below boiling (around 200°F/93°C). Avoid boiling water as it can make the coffee bitter.

    Pro tip: If your water boils, let it sit for 30 seconds before pouring.

  2. 2

    Add your coffee to your favorite mug.

  3. 3

    Pour 2 tablespoons of hot water over the powder and stir vigorously to create a paste. This prevents clumping.

    Pro tip: A milk frother makes this step even easier.

  4. 4

    Add the remaining hot water and stir until fully dissolved.

  5. 5

    Add milk and sweetener to taste. Enjoy immediately for best flavor.
