I usually keep instant on hand but didn't have any so it was panic time. I thought of boiling water thing because years ago I read a thing in Maxim about how to make coffee when you're camping. They said bring a pair of panty hose and boils some water, put coffee in the hose, dangle the hose over a cup, and poor the boiling water into it. Thank goodness for Maxim hahaha!!!!!!!

(Why men would have pantyhose to take camping is beyond me!)
