Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup freshly brewed coffee chilled
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice about 4 medium lemons
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar adjust to taste
  • 2 cups ice water
  • Lemon slices and cinnamon sticks for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Mix coffee, lemon juice, and sugar in a pitcher until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Add ice water and stir well. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
  • Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes or serve immediately over ice.
  • Garnish with lemon slices or a cinnamon stick before serving.

Notes

Use dark roast coffee for a deeper flavor. Freshly squeezed lemon juice works best—avoid bottled versions for a more natural taste. Add honey syrup for a sweeter twist. Can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
