IRISH COFFEE

In Recipes by admin

Ingredients:

  • 60ml Jameson whiskey
  • 2 tsp Brown Sugar
  • ¾ Cup freshly brewed, hot coffee
  • heavy cream

Directions:

  1. Put a teaspoon into a stemmed glass coffee mug and pour some boiling water into it. (The spoon reduces the chance that the glass will crack, but be careful!) Swirl the water around to warm the mug and dump it out.
  2. Pour the whiskey into the glass.
  3. Add the sugar.
  4. Add coffee up to within an inch from the rim.
  5. Stir until all the sugar has dissolved. (The sugar helps the cream float on top, so don’t try to use artificial sweetener.)
  6. Hold the spoon just above the surface of the coffee. Slowly pour the cream onto the spoon. The cream will flow over the edge of the spoon and rest on top of the coffee. (Now you’ll have a glass of black coffee with a white layer of cream on top.)
  7. Serve the coffee on a plate with NO SPOON.
  8. Drink the coffee through the layer of cream.
