Ingredients

• 1 shot Freshly brewed espresso

Brew a fresh shot of espresso using your preferred method (e.g., espresso machine or stovetop moka pot). Aim for a strong, concentrated coffee base.

Step 2

While the espresso brews, cut a fresh lemon into slices.

Step 3

Place one slice of lemon on a saucer next to the espresso shot. You can rub the lemon slice lightly around the rim of the cup to infuse a subtle citrus aroma.

Step 5

Serve immediately with the lemon slice for garnish or to squeeze into the espresso for a touch of acidity, as desired.
