Instant coffee isn't my number one choice when I want (need) my cup of joe. I've found this hack very useful in order to make instant coffee taste more like a freshly brewed cup. Just mix your instant coffee granules with a little bit of cold water, stir to dissolve, then add your hot water. Scientifically, when boiling water is added directly to the dehydrated coffee, it hardens the "starches", giving off a strange flavour. With the cold water to start with, the granules melt gently, recreating that perfect cup of coffee. Enjoy!
Sounds very useful, thanks! Usually when we spend the night at friends' homes, their coffee is too weak for me, haha, so I carry a small jar of instant. I can sneak this in my cup!
