citrus americano

Ingredients:

coffee beans
an orange
brown sugar or honey

Elaboration:

Orange is a fruit widely recognized for its high vitamin content and its refreshing taste. However, for many it may be surprising that citrus can also enhance the flavour of coffee. When we add orange slices to a cup of coffee, we also add a subtle acidic flavour and help balance the coffee’s bitterness. This combination creates a unique and enjoyable taste experience that coffee lovers can find delicious.

To make an American coffee with citrus, start by making a cup of strong coffee using the method you prefer. Meanwhile, cut an orange in half and slice it into thin slices.

When the coffee is ready, serve it in the cup along with the orange slices. This will add a refreshing flavour. You can also add a teaspoon of sugar or honey if you want. The notes of orange juice will give the coffee a bright and spicy touch characteristic of American citrus coffee.

Enjoy this drink made with coffee and infused with the vibrant flavours of citrus. A delicious combination of bitter and acidic notes that will awaken your senses.

It has mugs and cups with the perfect size to enhance your coffee experience and make it really special.

You can also use a tray to serve the coffee and its accompaniments. Including some extra orange slices is a detail that allows guests to customize their coffee. We accompany it with a portion of freshly baked apple pie, a perfect complement to this fabulous coffee.
