Most people cannot imagine a morning without a strong cup of coffee. True connoisseurs of this invigorating drink are not limited to one portion per day and often drink a rather large volume of it, each time adding sugar, then cream, then lemon, etc. to the cup.
Can I drink coffee with lemon
By itself, the combination of products such as natural coffee and lemon is completely harmless to the body. Moreover, ascorbic acid, contained in considerable quantities in lemon, partially neutralizes caffeine, which makes the drink quite suitable for drinking for people who are contraindicated in caffeinated drinks. That is, if you add lemon to coffee, then a hypertensive person will be able to drink it without fear that the pressure will rise.
However, the very combination of coffee and lemon has an interesting flavor that not everyone likes. The bitterness of the grains and the acidity of the fruit give the drink unusual notes that only true gourmets can appreciate. Making coffee with lemon is a snap. To do this, you just need to brew coffee in the usual way (in a Turk or a saucepan), and then put a slice of lemon (one slice per 200 ml cup) in the drink or add a teaspoon of lemon juice. If you like to experiment, then you can add a little cinnamon, chocolate, pepper, cocoa, etc. to the brewed coffee.
What are the benefits and harms of coffee with lemon
The combination of caffeine and lemon significantly improves metabolism, this property will be very useful for people who dream of losing a few extra pounds. The drink is especially effective if it is prepared from grains and dried lemon slices (with peel).
The pectin contained in the peel significantly reduces appetite, dulls the feeling of hunger for a long time. If you do not abuse the drink, then it will not bring harm. One or two cups of medium-strength coffee will not negatively affect the body, but if you already have stomach or heart problems, then you should not get carried away with coffee with lemon.
