This lemonade from that well-known coffee shop is my favorite. However, it might become costly, especially if you want one every day. This is how I would interpret the homemade lemonade.

Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 bunches turnip greens, chopped
- ½ cup strong brewed coffee
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place bacon and onion in a large skillet and cook over medium heat, covered, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and onions are translucent, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Place turnip greens into the skillet, a handful at a time if necessary, until wilted down, 5 to 7 minutes. Add coffee, vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Taste the liquid and adjust seasonings if necessary. Reduce heat to low or medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes more.
- Uncover and cook until liquid has reduced and greens are tender, about 10 minutes more.
- You can use collard, mustard, or kale greens instead of turnip.
- Be sure to use a balsamic vinegar with a thin consistency.

The coffee taste is strong, which I like. Next time I’d probably cut back on the vinegar just a bit. It is just a tad to much for me. Very easy to make though!
My Mama cooked greens every Sunday when I was growing up and she never used coffee so naturally, I was intrigued by this recipe. And surprisingly, I enjoyed it…the only thing I different was I didn’t have any bacon so I used prosciutto
