How to make an espresso tonic

You need

• Finely ground coffee · 18 g
• Chilled tonic water · 120–150 ml
• Ice · about 100 g
• Orange slice or peel (optional)

Method

1. Chill the tonic well beforehand. Fill a 300 ml glass with ice.

2. Pour in 120–150 ml of tonic, down the side of the glass to keep the fizz.

3. Pull 36 g of espresso from 18 g of finely ground coffee in 25–30 sec, into a separate small cup.

   Start 0:30

4. Pour the espresso very slowly over the ice or the back of a spoon, so it floats as a layer on the tonic.

5. Add the orange slice if you like and stir gently before drinking.

Tip: For no sugar at all, swap the tonic for unsweetened soda water and add a slice of orange: an espresso orange soda. Always add the espresso last, and slowly, so the glass doesn't foam over.
