Coffee Recipes

Irish Coffee

1 Tbs. Irish whiskey
1 tsp. sugar
Strong black coffee
1-2 Tbs. double cream

Pour the whiskey into a small warmed goblet and add the sugar. Fill to within 1/2-inch of the top with black coffee and stir quickly to dissolve the sugar.

*Top with 1/4-inch layer of double cream.
*The best way to do this is to hold a spoon over the coffee and gently pour the cream over the back of the spoon so that the cream floats on the the top of the coffee. Do not stir the cream into the coffee.
