Espresso tonic with lemon: how to make a popular refreshing drink at home

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
