From baking to frothy café drinks, the possibilities are endless!

Let's dive into five creative ways to use instant coffee that go beyond your morning brew ☕

Coffee-Infused Baking

Coffee and baking go hand-in-hand, whether you’re enhancing chocolate flavours or adding a bold twist to your favourite treats. TrueStart Instant Coffee works beautifully in:

• Chocolate Cake or Muffins: Stir a teaspoon of coffee into your batter to make the chocolate flavours pop.
• Brownies: Blend coffee into the mix for an extra indulgent twist.
• Glazes and Frostings: Create a coffee glaze or buttercream to elevate any dessert.

Our Olympic Village Muffins recipe on TikTok is a great example of coffee adding that perfect touch to baked goods.

Classic Coffee Cake

Try your hand at baking a delicious coffee cake using our instant coffee. Just dissolve a teaspoon or two of an instant coffee of your choice in hot water and mix it into your cake batter.

This one’s a crowd-pleaser for brunches or afternoon pick-me-ups.

Bonus: it smells incredible while baking.

DIY Barista-Style Coffee Drinks

Who says you need a fancy espresso machine or a pricey café to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee? With our instant coffee, you can whip up barista-style beverages at home:

1. Mix a teaspoon of our instant coffee with a little hot water to make a concentrated shot.
2. Heat your milk in the microwave or over a hob, then froth it with a handheld frother.
3. Combine the two for a smooth flat white, cappuccino, or latte.

For an extra treat, add a spoonful of chocolate powder to create a cozy mocha. Check out our TikTok to see us make a Flat White in an ‘instant’ 😉

Greek-Style Frappe

Take a trip to the Mediterranean with this frothy, chilled drink that’s perfect for sunny afternoons:

1. Mix your favourite TrueStart Instant Coffee, sugar (if desired), and a splash of cold water in a jar (yes, our Instant Coffee mixes hot and cold).
2. Shake vigorously or whisk until it’s light and frothy.
3. Add ice 🧊, top up with milk 🥛, and prepare to be blown away! It’s too good 😋

We’ve showcased this on TikTok, and it’s a summer staple you’ll want to try!

Coffee Ice Cubes

Keep your iced coffee bold and undiluted by making coffee ice cubes:

• Brew a batch of our Instant Coffee and pour it into an ice cube tray.
• Freeze and use the cubes in iced coffee or cold milk.

Coffee ice cubes are also a fun addition to morning smoothies—add them to your blender for a creamy, caffeinated treat that stays cool and delicious.
