Notes
There are a few tips you should take into account when it comes to making an espresso romano. These include recommended ways to make the espresso, how to mix the drink, and what ingredients to use.
Firstly, be sure to use high-quality espresso and lemon. Premium quality ingredients will mix best, thus creating the optimal taste.
Second, you should use an espresso brewing method you are comfortable with and happy with. If you prefer to use a Moka pot, use that. If you like your Nespresso machine, brew an espresso shot with that tool instead. Delicious espresso shots are key to making a high-quality drink.
Lastly, adding the lemon juice and sugar before adding the espresso is key to a good mix. Be sure to start with only a few drops, and add the lemon juice around the rim of the cup.
Some people add tangerine or orange flavors instead of lemon. These flavors work similarly to the lemon because they have citric acid that will similarly react to the coffee. Try out these flavors the next time you make an espresso romano!
