Hot coffee is becoming less and less popular in the heat of the day. But if you don't want to give up your favorite drink, there is a great alternative – a cold espresso tonic. It has become a real trend in recent years, and more and more people want to make a refreshing drink at home.
Food blogger Diana Khomenko (dianka_khomenko_) shared a recipe for a popular summer drink called espresso tonic on her Instagram page.
Ingredients:
- coffee beans – 16 g
- water – 70-90 ml
- lemon
- lemon juice
