Ingredients

  • Ice cubes
  • 1 cup brewed black coffee
  • Freshly-squeezed lemon juice
  • Sugar or other sweetener
  • 1 lemon slice or wedge (optional)

Directions

  1. Fill a tall, narrow glass with the ice cubes.
  2. Pour the coffee over the ice.
  3. Add the lemon juice and sugar to taste.
  4. Add the lemon slice or wedge as a final touch if desired.

Notes

In some recipes, a sugar syrup is poured into the glass first, then a mixture of water and lemon juice is gently and carefully added afterwards so that the two ingredients don't mix. Ice cubes and black coffee are added later with a sprinkle of lemon zest.

Some European variations suggest adding rum.
