Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • Start by brewing a single or double shot of espresso.
  • Rub lemon peel along the rim of the cup. The essential oils will flavor the rim, infusing each sip with a lemon scent.
  • Add lemon juice and optional sugar to the cup. Pour the espresso over and mix well to combine. Continue 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.
  • See post text for a note about brewing espresso in a French press or drip coffee maker
Serve: A cup of espresso romano is enjoyable alone or with delicious baked goods like homemade banana bread, chai-spiced cookies, and matcha brownies.
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.
