Ingredients
- 1 shot Freshly brewed espresso
- 1 slice Lemon
- 1 teaspoon Sugar (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Brew a fresh shot of espresso using your preferred method (e.g., espresso machine or stovetop moka pot). Aim for a strong, concentrated coffee base.
Step 2
While the espresso brews, cut a fresh lemon into slices.
Step 3
Place one slice of lemon on a saucer next to the espresso shot. You can rub the lemon slice lightly around the rim of the cup to infuse a subtle citrus aroma.

If you prefer a sweeter taste, stir in 1 teaspoon of sugar into the espresso until dissolved.
Step 5
Serve immediately with the lemon slice for garnish or to squeeze into the espresso for a touch of acidity, as desired.
