Irish Coffee

Ingredients

50 ml unsweetened, cold whipping cream

2 tbsp soft brown sugar

50 ml Irish whisky

1 cup freshly brewed coffee

Nutmeg to sprinkle (optional)

Method
1.

Fill a tall glass (traditionally with a stem) with hot boiling water, leave
to stand and then pour away the water.
2.
Whip the cream until the bubbles disappear and it has just started to
thicken and form ribbons underneath the whisk. Put back in the
refrigerator.
3.
Dissolve the sugar in 2 tablespoons of hot water in a small pan and
bring to a boil. Add some freshly brewed rich coffee and stir. Then
remove from heat and stir in the whisky.

4.

Pour the mixture of whisky, sugar and coffee into the bottom of the
pre-heated glass. Take the cold cream out of the fridge, whisk once
again, then pour it on over the back of a spoon (to prevent it from
sinking) until you hit the rim of the glass.
5.
Grate a little nutmeg over the top and serve immediately.
