Negosyo Ideas: Spend Less Than P35/Bottle To Make These Iced Coffee Drinks

It may be true that brewed coffee made from coffee beans is superior in taste, aroma, and overall flavor, but when it comes to cost-effectiveness, instant coffee can make or break your food business, especially if it’s iced coffee. Unless you’re willing to spend more on real coffee beans and ice to make real iced coffee from freshly brewed hot coffee or the time to make cold brew, you and your customers may not notice that it was made with instant coffee because instant coffee can be delicious. 

Don’t underestimate how delicious instant coffee can be! Choose an instant coffee brand that is delicious and full-flavored, and you might find it hard to tell the difference between coffee made with instant coffee and one that was freshly brewed from beans. Plus, there’s no need to worry about how to brew your coffee ground correctly because all the brewing has been done for you. 

It’s literally easy and no-fuss to make good coffee if you use instant coffee. 

That’s why for a start-up negosyo idea, it pays to taste test your recipes and think on a budget. That’s what we did, and the resulting iced coffee drinks we made were sincerely delicious! The best part is that each iced coffee will cost you less than P35 per bottle to make! The cost even includes buying 30 bottles online to start you off on your new business venture.
