Orange Iced coffee
Sweet & tangy flavoured coffees have always been my favourite. The tartness of the Orange and subtle sweetness of the sugar definitely add a nice tang to what is originally dubbed with freshly brewed medium roast coffee. And I would suggest you to try Columbian coffee brewed in French press or chemex.
