In the world of coffee, innovation is always welcome. Discover five unusual ways to enjoy cold instant coffee without milk, bringing refreshing and unique flavors to your glass.
Classic cold instant coffee is easy to prepare. In a glass, add 1 teaspoon of instant coffee and 1 teaspoon of sugar (for those who like sweet coffee). Then, add warm water up to about 1 cm from the bottom of the glass. The warm water helps dissolve the coffee better and creates a fuller flavor. Whip everything using a coffee whisk, then add 3-4 ice cubes. Finally, top it off with cold water or cold milk.
… For those who prefer their coffee without frothing, the process is the same; just use a spoon to stir instead.
Coffee without milk is enjoyed by lovers of intense flavor, vegans, people with lactose intolerance, those looking to reduce calorie intake, and those who are fasting. Milk often causes bloating, so it’s always a better option to avoid it if possible.
Coffee is a favorite drink for many, often spiced with flavors like vanilla or cinnamon. However, here we present more unusual varieties that will delight you.
