Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Hot freshly brewed coffee
- 45 ml Irish whiskey
- 2 tsp Brown sugar
- 60 ml Heavy cream
Instructions
Begin by brewing a cup of strong, hot coffee and set it aside.
In a heatproof glass or Irish coffee mug, add 2 teaspoons of brown sugar.
Pour in 45 ml of Irish whiskey over the sugar and stir to dissolve the sugar completely.
Top with 240 ml of hot coffee, leaving about 2 cm of space at the top of the glass.
In a small bowl, lightly whip the heavy cream so it thickens slightly but is still pourable.
Gently pour the whipped cream over the back of a spoon to float it on top of the coffee mixture.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Traditional Irish Coffee with the perfect layering of cream on top.
