Strong brewed coffee

1 cup, cooled to room temperature

Fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons

Granulated sugar

2 tablespoons (adjust to taste)

Ice cubes

as needed

Lemon slices

for garnish

Instructions

1. Start by brewing a cup of strong coffee. Allow it to cool to room temperature, which can be accelerated by placing it in the fridge for a quicker chill.
2. In a pitcher, combine the cooled coffee, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved, creating a sweet and tangy coffee base that dances on your palate.
3. Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes to keep your Mazagran refreshingly cold.
4. Pour the prepared coffee mixture over the ice cubes, filling the glasses to the brim.
5. Garnish each glass with a slice of lemon, adding a vibrant touch and an extra hint of citrus aroma.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy the invigorating experience of Mazagran! For an extra twist, consider adding a splash of sparkling water for a fizzy finish.
