Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml brewed coffee
- 45 ml cognac or brandy
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- 2 pieces coffee beans (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Start by brewing a strong cup of coffee. You will need 240 ml of hot coffee for this recipe.
Pour the hot brewed coffee into a heatproof mug or glass.
Stir in 1 teaspoon of sugar until dissolved for a touch of sweetness.
Add 45 ml of cognac or brandy to the coffee and stir well to combine.
In a separate bowl or container, lightly whisk 2 tablespoons of heavy cream until slightly thickened. This step gives the cream a luxurious texture, but it should still be pourable.
Gently pour the thickened cream over the back of a spoon onto the surface of the coffee, allowing it to float on top as a separate layer.
Sprinkle a small pinch of ground cinnamon over the cream for a hint of spice and aroma.
Optionally, garnish with two whole coffee beans for an elegant finishing touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Coffee Royal while it's hot!
