Description
A refreshing layered drink that combines bold freshly brewed coffee with bright orange juice, lightly sweetened and poured over ice for a vibrant and energizing twist.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) freshly brewed black coffee, cooled slightly
- 1 cup (240 ml) fresh orange juice
- 1 to 2 teaspoons (4 to 8 g) granulated sugar, optional
- 1 cup ice cubes (8 to 10 cubes)
Instructions
- Brew 1 cup of black coffee and allow it to cool slightly.
- If using sugar, stir 1 to 2 teaspoons into the warm coffee until fully dissolved.
- Fill a tall glass with 1 cup of ice cubes.
- Pour 1 cup of fresh orange juice over the ice.
- Slowly pour the coffee over the back of a spoon into the glass to create a layered effect.
- Adjust sweetness if needed and gently stir if you prefer a blended flavor.
- Serve immediately while cold and refreshing.
Notes
