How to Make Lemon Coffee?

Step 1

First, you need to start with brewing 200 ml of black coffee. Start by grinding your coffee beans to a medium-coarse consistency. For this recipe, I recommend using a French press for its rich and full-bodied brew.

Step 2

Fill a tall glass with plenty of ice cubes. Using a tall glass ensures that there is enough space for the ice and the coffee, allowing the drink to stay cold and refreshing.

Step 3

Once the black coffee is chilled, pour it over the ice cubes in the tall glass. The cold coffee will instantly chill the ice cubes, creating a refreshing base for your lemon coffee.

Step 4

Squeeze fresh lemon juice to add a burst of citrus flavor to your coffee. The lemon juice adds a bright and refreshing twist to the rich and bold flavors of the black coffee.

Step 5

If you prefer your coffee on the sweeter side, add a sweetener of your choice to the glass. Popular options include sugar, honey, or simple syrup. Stir well to ensure the sweetener is fully dissolved.

Step 6

To finish off your lemon coffee, garnish the glass with a slice of lemon. This not only adds a decorative touch but also enhances the citrus aroma of the drink. Stir the coffee gently to mix all the flavors together, and then sit back, relax, and enjoy your refreshing and flavorful lemon coffee!

What is Lemon Coffee?

It is a refreshing beverage made by combining chilled black coffee with freshly squeezed lemon juice and ice cubes.

Optionally, you can add a sweetener of your choice for a touch of sweetness.

To give it a beautiful look, you can garnish the glass with a slice of lemon for an extra burst of citrus flavor.

This drink is perfect for a hot summer day or as a revitalizing pick-me-up.

Foods to Eat With It!

You can enjoy foods like almond biscotti, shortbread cookies, meringue pie, cream puffs, poppy seed loaf, ricotta pancakes, lemon sorbet, etc with it.

Lemon Coffee - Worth the squeeze?

This was the detailed recipe of lemon coffee.

The verdict? To be honest, we enjoyed it quite a bit. In terms of taste, the lemon juice helps to balance out the coffee's bitterness and gives it a citrusy twist.

The texture of the coffee is lighter and less bitter than our typical, mouth-coating espresso.

In the end, if you should be squeezing lemon into your morning cup of joe comes down to personal preference.

Overall, I am very pleased with this unique blend.
