Here's how to do it:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of freshly brewed coffee
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 45 ml Irish whisky
- Heavy cream, whipped
- Cinnamon (optional)
Instructions:
- Start by brewing a cup of fresh coffee with your Moccamaster. Use your favourite beans, but make sure it's strong and hot.
- While the coffee is still hot, add one tablespoon of brown sugar and stir until it's dissolved.
- Next, add 45 ml of Irish whisky to the coffee mixture. Stir to combine.
- Now it's time to add the whipped cream. You can use store-bought whipped cream or make your own by whipping heavy cream with a whisk or electric mixer until it's light and fluffy.
- Carefully spoon the whipped cream onto the top of the coffee mixture. Make sure it floats on top and covers the entire surface.
- If desired, sprinkle some cinnamon on top for an extra touch of flavour and aroma.
- Finally, grab a spoon and mix the whipped cream into the coffee as you drink it. Enjoy!
Tips:
- For a richer and creamier Irish coffee, use heavy cream instead of milk in the whipped cream.
- Make the quality even better with freshly grinded beans from our KM5 Burr Grinder.
- If you want a sweeter drink, add more brown sugar to the coffee mixture.
- Experiment with different types of whisky to find your favourite. Irish whisky is traditional, but other types like bourbon or rye can also be used.
- Serve your Irish coffee in a clear glass mug so you can see the layers of coffee, whiskey, and cream.
