The perfect Irish Coffee
Preheat your Irish coffee glass by filling it with boiling water for 5 seconds, then pour the water out.
Add 1 teaspoon of brown sugar and a good measure of Irish whiskey into the warmed glass.
Fill the glass to within 1 cm of the brim with hot, strong black coffee. Stir well to dissolve all the brown sugar.
Carefully pour lightly whipped cream over the back of a spoon so that it floats on top of the coffee.
Do not stir after adding the cream; the best flavour comes from drinking the coffee and Irish whiskey through the cream. The final step .... Enjoy 😍
Slainte!
