Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups strong brewed coffee
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1.5 ounces dark rum
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cardamom
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon grated nutmeg (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Brew 2 cups of strong, hot coffee using your preferred method. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks begin to form.
Add the ground cardamom and powdered sugar to the heavy cream, then continue whipping until stiff peaks are achieved. Refrigerate the cardamom cream until ready to serve.
Divide the brewed coffee equally between two heatproof mugs or glasses.
Stir 1 tablespoon of brown sugar into each mug of coffee until dissolved.
Add 0.75 ounces of dark rum to each mug and gently stir to combine.
Top each mug of coffee with a generous dollop of the cardamom cream. Be careful not to mix it into the coffee; it should sit on top as a luscious layer.
If desired, sprinkle the cardamom cream with a pinch of ground cinnamon or grated nutmeg for added flavor and presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy the warming, spiced flavors of this delightful coffee drink.
