how to make irish coffee

We beat with a few rods 30 ml of whipping cream, for each coffee that we are going to prepare. We will leave it only slightly beaten, until it begins to foam. Another option is to use spray cream, for a much faster version. In this case, we will add it directly to the coffee.

Prepare an appropriate glass for coffee and put 1 teaspoon of brown sugar at its base.

We then pour 40 ml of Irish whiskey.

The next thing is to pour 80 ml of hot coffee. The coffee needs to be hot to be able to dissolve the sugar and whiskey in it before covering them with the cream.

Finally, we cover the drink with the whipped cream, being careful so that the cream does not mix with the coffee with whiskey. If we use spray cream, we will add it directly at this point.

We serve the Irish coffee decorated with a little ground coffee on top of the cream. It is delicious freshly made, when it is still hot, but if you take it to the fridge a couple of hours before eating it, it is even better.
