Ingredients

2-4 shots freshly brewed espresso
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons sugar optional
2 slices lemon optional garnish

Instructions

Start by brewing the espresso.
Rub lemon peel along the rim of two cups.
Divide the lemon juice and optional sugar into each cup. Pour the espresso over and mix well to combine. Continue mixing until the sugar dissolves.
Serve immediately with an extra lemon wedge or slice, garnishing the cup.

Notes

Use high-quality espresso powder for the best-tasting brew.
A single shot of regular espresso is one ounce, and a double shot is two ounces. Choose the quantity you want.
Taste and adjust! Give a quick taste after mixing the lemon juice. Need to add more? Want to sweeten? Desiring more than one teaspoon of sugar? Get to know the drink and how you like it best.

Store: The coffee flavor tastes best fresh; therefore, storing and making it ahead of time isn’t recommended. However, if needed, keep it in the refrigerator in an airtight container until ready to drink. Drink chilled over ice or reheat on the stove in a small saucepan over medium heat.
