Cold Brew Lemonade recipe

Cold Brew Lemonade is a refreshing and zesty drink perfect for warm weather. Here's how to make it along with the ingredients you'll need:

Ingredients: 1/2 cup coarse coffee grounds, 3 cups cold water, 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-5 lemons), 1/4 cup honey or simple syrup (adjust to taste), Ice cubes, Lemon slices for garnish (optional), Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1) Prepare the Cold Brew Coffee: In a large jar or pitcher, combine the coarse coffee grounds with cold water. Stir well to ensure all the grounds are fully saturated.

2) Cover the jar or pitcher and let it sit at room temperature for 12-24 hours. The longer it steeps, the stronger the cold brew will be.

3) After steeping, strain the cold brew coffee through a fine-mesh sieve or coffee filter to remove the grounds. You can strain it multiple times for a smoother texture.

4) Prepare the Lemonade: In a separate pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice with honey or simple syrup. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved.

5) Pour the strained cold brew coffee into the pitcher with the lemonade mixture. Stir until well combined.

6) Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the Cold Brew Lemonade over the ice. Garnish each glass with a slice of lemon and a sprig of fresh mint, if desired.

7) Sip and enjoy the refreshing blend of cold brew coffee and lemonade.
