Instant coffee is liquid, brewed coffee that then gets dehydrated.
1) grind the coffee
2) brew it however you like
3) cool the coffee from 90C --> cold
4) freeze the coffee
5) freeze dry for 24-48 hours
Fundamentally this will work but you're likely to run into a few problems. Your yield is going to be pretty low - one batch will likely get you ≈10-15 cups. Secondly, that coffee is really hygroscopic, meaning that it's so dry that it will absorb any moisture from the air. Unless you keep it in vacuum pouches it'll turn into a rock within days.
