Orange & Lemon Cold Brewed Coffee
The combination of lemon and coffee may be a Tik Tok fad, but it’s a deliciously fragrant combination that has been enjoyed in Brazil and other South American countries for decades. Our version combines smooth cold brewed coffee with Limoneira® lemon for a silky drink that’s sure to add zest to your mornings – or any time of day.
Ingredients
Cold Brew Coffee
- 1 cup whole coffee beans
- 4 cups water
Citrus Iced Coffee
- 1 cup cold brew coffee
- 1/2 cup Limoneira® orange juice freshly squeezed
- 1/4 cup Limoneira® lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
Cold Brew Coffee
- Grind the coffee to a coarse (not fine) texture. You should end up with slightly less than 1 cup of ground coffee.
- Add the coffee to a large carafe or other container you can refrigerate.
- Pour the water on top of the coffee, and stir only gently with a long spoon or spatula to make sure the coffee is thoroughly saturated with the water.
- Cover the carafe, and refrigerate for 12 hours.
- When it’s ready, strain the coffee with cheesecloth over a large bowl.
- It will keep in the fridge for up to a week (you’ll have enough for about 4 recipes of coffee lemonade)
Citrus Iced Coffee
- Combine all the ingredients in a jar or cocktail shaker and shake until blended.
- Serve with ice.
Notes
Note: The cold brew coffee takes 12 hours to sit, so be patient for this two-day project.
