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.

    And you can make hot water with just about anything. Most people use a microwave, I’m sure. But you could use a stovetop or hot plate, a camp fire, or even a tin cup over a Zippo if you really had to.
