• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

1. Prepare the Coffee Mixture:
   • In a small bowl, dissolve instant coffee granules in 1 cup of warm whole milk. Set aside.
2. Bloom the Gelatin:
   • In another bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water. Let it sit for a few minutes until it blooms.

5. Set in Molds:

7. Serve:
   • Once set, unmold the panna cotta onto serving plates. Serve chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of cocoa powder if desired.
