Â
Here's how:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of freshly brewed, piping hot coffee (go for that top-notch medium roast; our Lifeblood from Chiapas is perfect for it)
- 1 tablespoon of brown sugar -adjust according to your sweet tooth!
- 1 ½ oz (45ml) of your favorite Irish whiskey
- Lightly whipped heavy cream
- Freshly grated nutmeg or ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Brew your filtered coffee. Hot and fresh is the name of the game.
- Preheat your chosen vessel (think heat-resistant glass or clear mug for the traditional presentation) by giving it a little rinse with boiling water, then dispose of it.
- Drop that brown sugar into your preheated cup.
- Pour that steaming hot coffee over the sugar and give it a good stir until the sweetness melts right in.
- Now, add the star of the show: Irish whiskey. Stir gently to blend it all together.
- Time to create that iconic cream layer! Carefully pour your lightly whipped heavy cream over the back of a spoon, so it gracefully floats atop your coffee concoction.
- Feeling fancy? Sprinkle some freshly grated nutmeg or ground cinnamon on top for that extra flourish.
- Serve up your masterpiece pronto and savor every sip while it's still piping hot.
Tips to Elevate Your Experience:
- Opt for a medium roast coffee like our Lifeblood from Chiapas for a flavor explosion that'll knock your socks off.
- Tweak the sugar and whiskey amounts to match your personal taste buds' preferences.
- When whipping that cream, aim for a thickness that's pourable yet luxurious. You want it to float effortlessly on your coffee.
- Remember, Irish coffee is best enjoyed fresh off the press. No time for dilly-dallying!
