    I use 3 heaped tablespoons of coffee to about 1 tablespoon of hot water - NOT boiling water as that ‘burns’ the coffee and makes it bitter.

    Really nice buttercream - doesn't taste of coffee... I don't like coffee and I could eat a whole spoonful. Really nice, fluffy buttercream - and it might just be the instant coffee I'm using - but I've had to add double the amount of coffee and even now it's bordering.

    it was very yum and easy
    However, you should note that when adding the coffee it will easily become runny, so add a little more icing sugar.
    But it was great overall.

    Easy to follow and a good strong coffee flavour. Simple to split the receipt to make less.
