css - center vertically the content of a div

Question

I have this div:

HTML:

<div draggable="false" id="coffe">Free coffee</div>

CSS:

div {
    position: absolute;
    overflow: auto;
    text-align: left;
    font-size: 23px;
    color: rgb(26, 66, 108);
    font-family: roboto, Helvetica;
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: bold;
    -webkit-transition: none;
    transition: none;
    left: 0px;
    top: 67.125px;
    width: 1029.25px;
    height: 234.93749999999997px;
    opacity: 1;
    background: grey;
}

And I need to vertically center its content, which is "free coffee".

How can I do this? I tried with vertical-align: middle; but it doesn't work.

Answer 1

Specify a line-height that matches the <div>'s height:

line-height: 235px;
