Yes. The caffeine comes from the instant coffee, and adding semi-skimmed milk does not remove it. If caffeine affects your sleep, avoid having this drink late in the day.
Not if you make it without added sugar, although milk naturally contains lactose. Check any flavoured instant coffee mix separately, since some mixes already include sugar.
Dissolve the instant coffee in a little hot water, then stir in semi-skimmed milk. This helps the coffee dissolve smoothly; adjust the amount of milk to get the strength and creaminess you like.
Yes. Dissolve the instant coffee in a small amount of warm water first, then add cold semi-skimmed milk and ice. Mixing instant coffee straight into cold milk can leave undissolved granules.
No. Milk softens the coffee’s bitterness and changes its taste, but it does not reduce the caffeine in the coffee itself. Use less coffee if you want a milder, lower-caffeine cup.
It can trigger discomfort in some people, because coffee may worsen reflux symptoms regardless of the milk added. If you notice heartburn after drinking it, try a smaller serving or avoid it.
It can be a convenient pre-workout drink if you tolerate caffeine and milk well. Caffeine may increase alertness, but this milky coffee is not a substitute for water or a meal when you need fuel.
Yes, you can reheat it gently, but avoid bringing it to a boil because the milk may develop a skin or taste scorched. Stir it while warming and drink it soon after.
It is best consumed soon after preparation. If you need to keep it, refrigerate it promptly in a covered container and use it within a day; discard it if it has been left out for hours.
It is not an ideal everyday drink for children because the instant coffee contains caffeine, which can affect sleep and cause jitteriness. Choose plain milk or a caffeine-free drink instead.

Nescafe with semi-skimmed milk is a convenient drink made by mixing instant coffee with semi-skimmed milk, usually with hot water. Whether you add sugar is a matter of taste.
It works as a quick breakfast or mid-morning coffee at home or at work, and can be served on its own or with a small snack. The milk softens the coffee’s bitterness and gives the drink a creamier texture than black coffee. Nutritionally, it offers some protein and calcium with a moderate calorie content: per 100 g, it has 44 calories and 2.2 g of protein. For a lighter cup, leave out the sugar and adjust the milk-to-coffee ratio to suit your taste.
