Espresso Romano, coffee with a slice of lemon? This concept seems unusual. But baristas in Italy and Spain mix lemon slices for a long time in a cup of black coffee. In Italy, a drink called espresso romano is one of several variants of espresso. A slice of lemon is usually found in this coffee. Espresso doesn't show much either. It only needs one shot.

Mel lemon is native to China and is considered to be the intersection of oranges and lemons. They are sweeter than ground lemons, with citrus flavor, with obvious herbal and floral aromas. The skin is thinner and softer and the fruit is very juicy. The soft acidity and complex taste make Meyer lemon the perfect choice for espresso Romano.

Espresso Romano (Roman espresso) is espresso with lemon peel and a little lemon juice. Awkwardly, it wasn't actually done in Rome (or Italy) at all. I asked several Italian friends from all over Italy, none of them had heard of it. The closest I get in Italy is m oretta fanese, a coffee-based drink with lemon flavor but fennel, rum and brandy. My friend Marco said it was a drink for sailors and seemed to think I drank too much. He may be right.

Preparing an espresso Romano is very simple. Pull a cup or two of espresso (if you don't have an espresso maker, use a mocha pot) and add a cup of Mel lemon and sugar. You can also squeeze a little lemon juice into a small coffee cup and rub it slightly around the edge. A little bit of lemon adds brightness to espresso and relieves the bitterness to some extent. It also looks elegant. So sit down and enjoy rest and enjoyment in the afternoon.

The effect of lemon peel

In lemon oil, kneading to the edge or squeezing on coffee will reduce the bitterness because the cultivation of beans is not perfect. Lemons are also thought to increase the sweetness of coffee at the lowest level of coffee flavor.
