How To Make a Lemonade Iced Coffee

Summer is right around the corner which means it’s time to create refreshing coffee beverages.

This recipe is for coffee drinkers who enjoy a sweet and acidic taste when it comes to coffee (or wine, we like both). It’s one of these recipes where you either LOVE it, or HATE it, there’s no middle ground. One thing’s for sure, though, you MUST try it 🙂

Lemon Juice

Maple Syrup

Mineral Water

Coffee

Ice cubes

Ingredient Benefits

Lemon Juice: lemons are high in vitamin C, fiber, and various beneficial plant compounds supporting heart and digestive health, weight loss and more

Maple Syrup: natural sweetener with antioxidants offering health benefits, such as lowering cholesterol and supporting brain health

Coffee: helps digestion and keeps you from feeling bloated after a meal.

Lemonade Iced Coffee Variations

– Raw Brown Sugar: If you prefer raw brown sugar as a sweetener, then make your lemonade mixture with it for a softer, sweeter result.

– Store bought Lemonade: If you have a go-to lemonade brand that you love, you can mix it with your favorite coffee instead of the lemonade mixture in the recipe.

– Try it with Cold Brew: This recipe will also taste great if you substitute your iced coffee with cold brew

How To Make It

Create the lemonade mixture: In a mixing bottle, add the natural lemon juice, the sweetener (maple syrup) and water to dilute. This will be your abridged version of a home-made lemonade.

Add your coffee dose: Fill up a glass with ice cubes to the top and add your shot of coffee.

Serve it up: add the lemonade mixture on top of the coffee in the glass full of ice to fill it up completely. Mix well
