You have likely consumed oranges and coffee separately, but have you ever tried orange-infused coffee? While the combination might sound a bit unusual, it has become a trend today. Yes, coffee with orange juice is currently trending and is being widely appreciated. You might be wondering why this combination is so popular; let us explain:

The Orange Juice Coffee Trend
Orange juice coffee is a blend that combines the tanginess and sweetness of oranges with the mild bitterness of coffee. Interestingly, while some find this mixture delicious, others consider it a terrible combination. Whether served as hot espresso or iced coffee, it has become a favorite for many.

Try Orange Juice Coffee at Home
Making this coffee is simple: extract the juice from two fresh oranges. Ensure the juice isn't overly sour, as that could lead to acidity issues. Next, mix one shot of espresso or a tablespoon of strong instant coffee into the orange juice. You can also add two or three ice cubes if desired. Add sugar to taste, and your trendy orange juice coffee is ready.

Downsides of Orange Juice Coffee?
This combination isn't exactly healthy; it is best enjoyed only occasionally for the sake of flavor. This is because both coffee and oranges are highly acidic. Coffee has a pH level between 4.85 and 5.10, while orange juice typically ranges from 3.3 to 4.2. Consequently, both ingredients can contribute to acidity.

For Whom Is Orange Juice Coffee Unhealthy?
As mentioned, orange juice coffee is highly acidic—especially if it contains extra shots of coffee or if the orange juice is particularly tart. In such cases, this coffee can be harmful to people who suffer from stomach-related issues—particularly GERD, acid reflux, and bloating.
