Coffee with lime

1 serving

25 minutes

Coffee with lime is an unusual combination from the rich traditions of Arab cuisine. This drink blends the rich flavor of roasted ground coffee, the sweetness of cane sugar, and a spicy hint of cinnamon. Lime added to the finished drink gives it freshness and a light citrus tang. This aromatic coffee is made with love and patience: the method of boiling three times in a cezve allows its flavor depth to unfold. It is perfect for morning awakening or leisurely enjoyment during the day. Adding milk softens the taste and adds delicate creamy notes. Coffee with lime is a harmony of strength and refinement, spiciness and softness, tradition and experimentation that makes it special.
