Before You Begin

[ ] Ensure you have instant coffee (granules, powder, or crystals).
[ ] Gather water (filtered, tap, or bottled—your choice).
[ ] Have a cup or mug ready.
[ ] Have a spoon available for stirring.
[ ] Optional: Prepare any additives (milk, cream, sugar, sweeteners, flavorings, etc.).

Step 1: Measure the Water

[ ] Decide on the amount of coffee you want to make (usually one cup).
- A typical serving size is 8 oz (240 mL) of water.
[ ] Boil the water:
- Use a kettle or stovetop to bring water to a boil.
- Alternatively, use a microwave if you prefer.

Note: Ideal water temperature for instant coffee is just off the boil, around 190–205°F (88–96°C).

Step 2: Prepare the Coffee

[ ] Measure the instant coffee:
- Standard ratio: 1 to 2 teaspoons of instant coffee per cup of water.
- Adjust based on desired strength (more for a stronger brew, less for a lighter taste).

Step 3: Add Coffee to Cup

[ ] Add the measured instant coffee directly to your empty cup or mug.
