    How to make instant black coffee with lemon juice, hot water and honey?

    lemon coffee with instant coffee powder and lemon juice

    Lemon tea is more popular than lemon coffee, but have you ever tried taking coffee with lemon?

    Warm or hot water infused with lemon and honey is is becoming popular among coffee lovers, just like lemon tea is popular among tea lovers.

    However, personally I do not think lemon coffee or lemon tea is good to drink everyday as lemon drinks can be acidic in nature but I do like to enjoy them occasionally in moderation.

    If you love lemons in your tea & if you love coffee as well, do try this lemon coffee and see how you like it with your morning breakfast!

    Preparing coffee with instant coffee powder is super easy and you can make instant lemon coffee with just hot water, lemon, instant coffee powder and honey or maple syrup.

    This is much similar to popular mazagran coffee drink in Europe.

    If you do not want to sweeten your coffee, you may skip the honey as well but the coffee may taste bitter without the honey.

    Plus, honey is a natural sweetener!

    However, I also like using pure fresh maple syrup in my coffee and also you may use another sweetener of your choice if you want!

    You can make instant lemon coffee in microwave or stove top as you prefer.

    If you do not have instant coffee powder, you can make coffee the old fashioned way and use brewed coffee or even espresso coffee to make lemon coffee whenever you want!

    You may even brew the coffee in advance and store the coffee chilled in refrigerator so you can use it to make lemon coffee as you want.

    You can use cold brewed coffee to make lemon coffee which can be reheated or you can make iced lemon coffee if you like!

    Keep in mind that if you have an issue with acidic foods, adding lemons to the coffee might trigger it, just like it can do with lemon tea.

    I am not a doctor and this post on lemon coffee is for the recipe and discussion purpose only, so make sure to check with your doctor if you are not sure about taking lemon coffee!

    Does lemon coffee has caffeine?

    lemon coffee

    Yes, lemon coffee has caffeine in it since we use coffee powder in the recipe and it has caffeine.
