Instant are not Timezone aware. If you need a time zone aware timestamp, you should use ZonedDateTime.

Check out ZonedDateTime.now(timezone) which will use the provided timezone. To use the machine's default timezone, use ZonedDateTime.now()

If you want to parse a ZonedDateTime and override the timezone, you can use ZonedDateTime.withZoneSameLocal or ZonedDateTime.withZoneSameInstant depending on your need.
