Summer has finally arrived in London, which means it’s time to switch to iced lattes, espresso tonics, and bumble coffee. However, finding a coffee shop willing to experiment with these formats can be challenging. Fortunately, all of this is easy to make at home.
So, let’s have a little coffee adventure. Food journalist Liuba Safonova has prepared three simple recipes that you can make without a coffee machine.

Coffee Tonic
A classic refreshing cocktail that’s easy to experiment with. For example, you can choose different tonics; it can be regular Schweppes or more complex options with pomegranate and rosemary. An interesting option is to use lemon soda instead of tonic, such as San Pellegrino. It’s also delicious with a bit of elderflower syrup.
How to prepare:
1. Fill a glass with ice.
2. Fill a third of the glass with coffee, then top it up with tonic or another soda.
3. Optionally, add syrup or a lemon wedge.
Bumble
Bumble is the new latte: instead of milk, orange juice is added to the coffee. It works best with juice without pulp, but it’s worth trying different options, including freshly squeezed juice. The combination of orange juice and strong coffee gives intense chocolate notes. Sometimes it’s hard to believe it’s just coffee and orange juice.
How to prepare:
The main problem with iced lattes is that after a few minutes, the ice starts to melt and dilutes the drink. In the upside-down version, we suggest freezing black coffee to make coffee ice — so the drink won’t lose it’s richness to the last drop.
