Brighten your brew with lemonade and a splash of sparkling water. It may seem an unlikely combination, but adding lemonade to your homemade iced coffee creates a bold, tangy and delicious drink. Think of it as an Arnold Palmer, with strong coffee instead of black tea.

Iced Coffee Lemonade

Fill a glass with ice.

Prepare double-strength coffee in your preferred method. For optimal taste, we recommend using the coffee press method.
- For double-strength coffee, double the amount of coffee grounds per serving. That is, if making one 6-oz cup of coffee, use 4 scoops of ground coffee instead of 2.

Mix together lemonade and coffee, leaving room to customize to taste. We recommend 1 part coffee to 1 part lemonade.
