Instant Coffee Crystals

[sylvan]

My visiting inlaws left a full, small jar of instant coffee crystals here. Instead of tossing it, I wondered if there were some simple uses for it such as sprinkling on ice cream or maybe on a sweet whipped topping.
I use grape nuts cereal on top of ice cream.

I keep a jar around for when a recipe calls for something like 1/4 c. strongly brewed coffee. That way I don't have to brew a full pot or wait to see if there are leftovers from breakfast.

Add it to anything you bake that is chocolate based. You won't taste it but it'll enhance the flavor.

For those who don't really like instant coffee, it's recommended that you make use of it in brownies, stews, chocolate desserts, and chilis.
