Citrus is the perfect mate for fresh, hot coffee...
The piquant freshness of citrus is the perfect mate for fresh, hot coffee. This simple, simple, simple recipe is a surprisingly great way to serve coffee to make any breakfast a holiday meal or special treat. Freshly-squeezed juice makes this recipe perfect, but it will still be delicious if you use store bought juice.
