An enjoyable drink with several variations in accordance
with different tastes. Here is one method that makes an
ideal drink for when the weather turns a little chilly and
you need a quick pick-me-up.
!! Ingredients !!
* 500 ml / 17 fl oz hot coffee
* 25 ml 7/8 fl oz Irish whiskey
* Brown sugar (preferred)
* Double or heavy cream
* Hot water
* Chocolate (optional)
!! Steps !!
Brew the coffee [1] to the taste you like.
Whip the cream [2]. Pour the cream into a jug or bowl and lightly
whip. The cream is ready when it becomes smooth and doesn't drip off
the spoon.
* If you wish, add two tablespoons of white sugar to the cream to
help improve its consistency and flavor.
Heat the glass. To prevent the glass from cracking, heat it by
holding over some steaming water for a few seconds.
* Leave the mixing spoon [3] in the glass as this will aid to absorb
some of the coffee heat if the glass is not too thick.
Sweeten the coffee. In each of your glasses, add about a tablespoon
(15 ml) of brown sugar.
Pour a measure of the whiskey [4] into the glass. Mix.
Add the coffee to about a 1/2 inch (15 mm) from the top of the
glass. Stir the sugar and whiskey mix as you go.
Don't forget to leave room for the cream.
Fill the remainder of the glass with the cream. Spoon some of the
whipped cream over the hot coffee.
Don't mix it in, it should float on top.
Serve. Although optional, it can be extra delicious to top off the
Irish coffee with a favorite chocolate [5]. Try breaking or
crumbling in a chocolate bar such as a Flake, Andes mint
chocolate, or other favorite chocolate bar. Enjoy.
