Cold brew shops have nothing on this one. This drink layers strong brewed coffee with bright fresh lemon juice, a homemade maple simple syrup, and a generous pour of chilled sparkling water for something that feels genuinely special without requiring any fancy equipment. The maple syrup gets a quick simmer with water to create a smooth, pourable sweetener that blends seamlessly into the cold drink โ no grainy sugar, no fuss. Pouring the sparkling water slowly down the side of the glass keeps every sip effervescent right down to the last drop. Tree nut allergies can make flavored coffee drinks a real minefield, since hazelnut syrups and nut-based creamers show up constantly in cafรฉ menus and bottled beverages โ but every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify. It's a gorgeous drink to serve over ice on a warm afternoon, and that optional lemon slice on the rim makes it look like something you'd pay eight dollars for at a trendy coffee bar.

Combine the maple syrup and water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the syrup is fully dissolved and the mixture just comes to a simmer, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, about 20โ30 minutes.
Divide the ice evenly between two tall glasses. Pour 1/2 cup of the cooled coffee over the ice in each glass.
