Instructions:
Step 1: Preparing the Milk
Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients for your Vegan Instant Coffee. In a saucepan, pour in the soy milk or almond milk (whichever you prefer), and add the sugar.
Set the saucepan on medium heat and bring the milk to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to dissolve the sugar completely. Keep a close eye on it so the milk doesn’t boil over.
Step 2: Adding the Coffee
Once the milk is hot and the sugar has dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the instant coffee powder directly into the hot, sweetened milk. Stir it well until the coffee powder dissolves completely, creating a smooth and frothy emulsion.
Step 3: Frothing and Mixing
For a bit of frothiness and a more luxurious texture, pour the coffee back and forth into a large vessel or cup once or twice. This will help mix the coffee and milk thoroughly, as well as add some froth.
Step 4: Serving
Pour the vegan instant coffee into coffee mugs and serve immediately. For an optional touch, you can sprinkle a little more instant coffee powder on top for an extra coffee kick and visual appeal.
Serving Suggestions:
- For a delightful snack pairing, serve your Vegan Instant Coffee with delicious treats such as Shrewsbury Cookies (butter cookies) or Cardamom Spiced Peanut Butter Cookies. The rich flavors of the cookies complement the smooth, warm coffee perfectly.
- You can also enjoy your vegan coffee with a traditional Indian breakfast, such as Parathas (flatbreads), for a hearty and satisfying morning meal.
This Vegan Instant Coffee recipe is not only a quick and easy way to satisfy your coffee cravings, but it also brings the perfect balance of creaminess and coffee flavor with no dairy involved. The sugar can be adjusted to suit your personal taste, making it a customizable treat for coffee lovers who prefer plant-based options.
