how to make instant coffee

Today I am going to make some instant pumpkin spice latte. The general technique applies to any type of coffee if PSLs are your jam, but this powder is freekin amazing, and I intend on not only using it to make PSLs after pumpkin season is over but also using it to incorporate into ice cream and other fun stuff all throughout the year. This video was thanks to harvest right who were nice enough to send me a freeze-dryer to experiment with. Honestly, this video may be a reason to get one, however, even if you can’t get one, this video is gonna be fun, so let's get into it.

I love the idea of freeze-drying all the things, but a $2, 195 freeze dryer is a lot more than “the company gave me one.”

The colors and the angles are giving big time “Look Around You” vibes

the most insightful thing that i learned in this video was that people call pumpkin spice lattes PSLs and that horrifies me slightly

Looks good. If I had a dehydrator, I would definitely do this

[hdenwaz]

Truly a man of science with that control group.

It took me good 5 minutes to figure out what "PSL" is..
Great video

[JadeCanada]

Get yourself a mini whisk, it will be easier to mix in the powder.

[christophlange]

Great, now after buying a de-hydrator thanks to one of YOUR videos, I have to buy a freeze dryer as well, I guess.... need... more... kitchen space.... aaarrrrgh

"Harvest right just sent me a freeze dryer." I was so jelly. Well, good for you though, it seems like it will be instrumental to the Lab. Cheers!

Thats so cool, but could you have freeze dried the first try again to draw out any moisture and it would have been saved?

[yoonbum]

I don't know how but i failed PSL just like an hour ago and you upload this.

[JustinKoenigSilica]

You're turning into a damn fine molecular gastronomist! great stuff.

[joebolling]

Could a failed batch like that first one just be ran thru the freeze dryer again to remove the moisture from the humidity?

[Panzersoldat]

This look fabulous but considering freeze dryers cost nearly 3, 000 dollars....I'll have to pass for now. That being said, combine this with a mylar vacuum bag system and you can end up storing stuff for years if not decades which is pretty awesome. I'll have to start saving up my pennies :)
