Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml coffee
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 45 ml Irish whiskey
- 30 ml heavy cream
- 50 ml boiling water
Instructions
Start by boiling water. Place 50 ml of boiling water in a heatproof mug or glass to warm it up. Let it sit while you prepare the other ingredients, then discard the water.
Brew 240 ml of your favorite coffee and set it aside once it's ready.
In the warmed mug or glass, add 2 teaspoons of brown sugar. Pour in 45 ml of Irish whiskey and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
Slowly pour the hot coffee over the whiskey-sugar mixture, leaving about an inch of space at the top for the cream.
Lightly whip 30 ml of heavy cream using a whisk or shaking it in a jar until it thickens slightly but is still pourable.
Hold a spoon upside down over the coffee and gently pour the cream over the back of the spoon. This will create a smooth cream layer on top of the coffee.
Serve immediately and enjoy. For best results, drink the coffee through the layer of cream without stirring.
