Method for Espresso Citrus Tonic
1. Make the Papelon Syrup: place the papelon and water in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir until dissolved. Bring to a boil and simmer, without stirring for 2 minutes to thicken slightly. Cool, then transfer to an airtight jar or container.
2. Make the Citrus Tonic: Place the orange juice, lime juice, chilled espresso and 2 teaspoons of the papelon syrup in a measuring jug and stir to combine.
3. Fill a short serving glass with ice and pour over the coffee mixture. Top with tonic water and garnish with a fresh orange slice to serve.
