For some reason I think of it as an older concept. Now Starbucks and coffee chains are popular.

Highlighting carlcook's advice:

dissolve in cold water, ONLY THEN add hot water. The rationale behind it is that aromatics evaporate too quickly when the instant powder is infused with too/boiling hot water.

I use instant coffee for baking. And I had instant coffee as part of the tea-making facilities in British B&Bs (but I definitely prefer the tea there).

    I'm thinking about making coffee ice cream and I was going to make a coffee reduction for that flavor (I experiment a lot. If it doesn't work I still have ice cream) but this sounds like a much better idea.

    Not them but adding it to cakes, cookies, macrons, etc like cocoa powder does the job wonderfully in my cases.
