Directions

Make Coffee Concentrate

Add 18g of medium-fine ground coffee to the AeroPress. Use the flow control cap to ensure no water drips through during brewing.
Add 160g of water on top and let brew for 2 minutes.
After brewing, slowly push down over 45 seconds. Set aside to cool.

Make Lemonade

Add warm water and sugar to a carafe and stir until sugar is dissolved.
Add lemon juice and stir until combined.

Assemble Drink

Line highball glass with lemon rounds.
Add ice to glass.
Pour lemonade on top of ice.
Layer cooled coffee on top of lemonade.
Stir to combine.

Recipe Note

Instead of making your own simple syrup with the water and sugar, you can use a pre-made one. If you did that, use 3 tablespoons of simple syrup and leave out the sugar and water.
A stronger lemonade tends to work better to help balance the coffee. If you prefer something more diluted though, add more water to the lemonade.
