Questions about Decaffeinated instant coffee
How do you make decaffeinated instant coffee?
Put the granules in a mug and pour over freshly boiled water that has cooled for about 30 seconds; stir until dissolved. Add milk or sugar after brewing, if you like.
Can you use decaffeinated instant coffee in baking?
Yes. Dissolve the granules in a spoonful of hot water before adding them to chocolate cake, brownies or icing; this prevents bitter specks and gives an even coffee flavour.
How should you store decaffeinated instant coffee?
Keep the jar tightly closed in a cool, dry cupboard, away from steam and direct sunlight. Use a dry spoon so moisture does not make the granules clump.
Does decaffeinated instant coffee still contain caffeine?
Usually, a small amount remains: decaffeinated means most caffeine has been removed, not necessarily every trace. The amount varies between products, so it is not the same as caffeine-free.
How is decaffeinated instant coffee made?
Coffee beans are decaffeinated before roasting, using water, carbon dioxide or solvents to extract most of the caffeine. The beans are then roasted, brewed into a concentrated coffee extract and dried into soluble granules.
How does decaffeinated instant coffee compare with regular instant coffee?
They are very similar once prepared: both dissolve in hot water and have about 2 kcal per 100 g. Decaffeinated instant coffee has slightly more carbohydrate per 100 g of prepared drink: 0.4 g, compared with 0.34 g for regular instant coffee.
Is decaffeinated instant coffee suitable for tiramisu?
Yes. Make it strong with less water than you would use for a mug, then cool it before briefly dipping the sponge fingers; soaking them too long can make the dessert soggy.
Can you drink decaffeinated instant coffee before bed?
It contains much less caffeine than ordinary coffee, but may still have traces, so it is not guaranteed to be caffeine-free. If even a small amount affects your sleep, choose a drink labelled caffeine-free instead.
