Prepare the Ingredients:
Start by gathering all your ingredients. If you prefer to use homemade almond milk, feel free to make it in advance. You can check out recipes on how to make almond milk at home to ensure itβs fresh. -
Heat the Milk:
In a medium saucepan, pour the soy milk (or almond milk) and add the sugar. Heat it over medium flame until the milk is hot, and the sugar has fully dissolved. -
Add Instant Coffee:
Once the milk is hot, turn off the heat. Add the instant coffee powder to the sweetened milk, and stir thoroughly to ensure the coffee dissolves completely, creating a smooth emulsion. -
Mix and Froth:
For an extra frothy texture, pour the coffee back and forth between two vessels or cups once or twice. This will help mix the ingredients well and create a frothy effect, making your coffee look as good as it tastes. -
Serve:
Pour your vegan instant coffee into mugs. If desired, sprinkle a little extra instant coffee powder on top for a subtle extra touch.
This vegan instant coffee is perfect when paired with some light snacks. You can serve it alongside Shrewsbury Cookies (Butter Cookies) or a Cardamom Spiced Peanut Butter Cookie for a delightful treat. If you prefer a more traditional breakfast, enjoy this vegan coffee with Parathas for a comforting start to your day.
Enjoy your smooth, creamy, and vegan-friendly instant coffee β an ideal drink to start your day or enjoy during a cozy snack time!
Pro Tip: You can customize the sweetness and strength of the coffee by adjusting the amount of sugar or instant coffee powder. This recipe is perfect for anyone looking for a plant-based alternative to their regular cup of joe!
