Coffee with Lime

Coffee with Lime Zest

Advertise | AdChoices

Everywhere we look, wonderful words could be found that aim at describing what the palate should be able to perceive when drinking some coffees.

"flowery aroma, pronounced citrus flavour with lively, yet soft aftertaste..."

"Arabica highland coffee with light citrus note and fresh aroma"

"vibrant hint of citrus"

"leaves a hint of citrus"

I put some ingredients in my mortar and let my "own" citrus-coffee flavour take place.

  • 21 g arabica coffee
  • 1 g coarse salt
  • 1/4 TL cocoa powder (for baking)
  • zest of 1/2 lime

Pour about 20 ml hot water over the ingredients in a french press and let rest 4 minutes. Serve in a pre-warmed small cup.

Lime coffee, I've never tried it. In my mind I can taste it being good or nasty.

being an artist and composer myself I am not sure if I visualize taste the way you do, but have given this much thought. So it is interesting that you mention "In my mind..."

I have made many food combinations in my life, but discovered that they must be acceptable in my mind before I even consider trying them. For me the "green light" is when in my mind there is an agreable combination for the taste. Then - of course - it is a matter of getting the balanced combination.

Many times I am surprised at the end, how well the two components blend. However, here it was not difficult, since many coffees have this citrus note to begin with.

I do hope you will try it and like it.
