Ingredients:
1 cup hot and strong coffee
1 to 2 teaspoons sugar (to taste)
45 ml (1 1/2 oz) Irish whiskey
Fresh cream
Coffee beans (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Brew the coffee:
Make a cup of strong, hot coffee.
Sweeten the coffee:
Add sugar to the coffee, adjusting the amount to your liking. Stir well to ensure the sugar dissolves.
Add the whiskey:
Pour the Irish whiskey into the sweetened coffee.
Prepare the cream:
Whip the fresh cream until it begins to thicken but is still fluid.
Add the cream to the drink:
Hold a spoon backside up over the coffee, so the convex part of the spoon faces up.
Carefully pour the whipped cream over the spoon so that it gently rests on top of the coffee, creating a floating cream layer.
Garnish and serve:
Optionally, garnish with a few coffee beans on top of the cream.
Serve immediately, ensuring the drink is enjoyed while still hot.
Irish Coffee is a delightful and comforting way to enjoy coffee with a touch of alcohol.
