With the weather heating up, you might be tempted to splurge and make cold brew coffee your go-to summer drink.
The bold, creamy texture of cold brew coffee is hard to beat, especially when you’re in dire need of a quick caffeine boost.
But it’s such an expensive habit to pick up, and you can’t exactly make anything with the same quality as cold brew coffee at home—or can you?
According to Health.com, you don’t need a fancy machine to make a refreshing iced coffee at home.
All you need is a bottle of lemonade!
That’s right—lemonade may be the key to creating the perfect iced coffee that’s equal parts flavorful and refreshing.
The idea isn’t completely original though. Cafes around the world offer this unique blend of coffee and lemonade, called the Thunderbolt, but it’s hard to come across one if you don’t live in a major city.
The great thing about this icy drink is that you can mix and match with flavors and textures, depending on the kind of lemonade you use.
You can make your own lemonade, pick up a store-bought bottle, or even try fizzy lemonade to see which version you like best.
According to Health.com, the easiest way to make this citrusy coffee is by combining a shot or two of chilled expresso with a dash of lemonade.
And that’s it! Now you have a fantastic caffeinated drink to keep you going all summer long.
