Nescafe cold instant coffee is a soluble coffee powder intended for making a cold drink. Stir it into cold water or milk rather than brewing it with hot water. Unsweetened, it has the familiar roasted, slightly bitter coffee taste; served chilled, it makes a refreshing alternative to hot coffee.
It works well over ice for a quick drink at breakfast or as an afternoon pick-me-up, and you can use milk for a creamier finish. Prepared plain, it keeps the drink low in calories, while sweeteners or flavoured syrups add sweetness if you prefer it. It contains caffeine, so if caffeine affects your sleep, enjoy it earlier in the day.
