Such a nice little refreshing drink for the summer. You can use a moka pot or an espresso machine for this. I used about a half ounce of plain simple syrup but you could use a flavored syrup. The lemon for garnish in my opinion is necessary. The torch, not so much but is awesome.
Moka Pot
Grind | Very Fine
Coffee | 20g
Water | 200g
1. Disassemble your Moka pot and fill the lower chamber with pre-boiled water.
2. Insert the filter basket and fill with your coffee grounds.
3. Assemble the Moka pot by screening on the top portion.
4. Place over a stove on medium heat. As the water heats up, it will create pressure, forcing water to pass through the grounds and rise up into the top chamber.
5. Once the top chamber is about ¾ full, remove from the heat.
6. Rinse the base with cold water to prevent the coffee from continuing to brew.
