Only this sheet prints - the size above is what it is set to.
Ingredients
- 45 ml Irish whiskey
- 120 ml Espresso - Strong black coffee, made with a filter or a pot - not an espresso shot
- 10 ml Sugar - Brown sugar if you have it
- 30 ml Double cream - Chilled, and lightly whipped so it floats
- 1 pinch Nutmeg (optional)
Quick version
- Sweeten hot coffee with sugar, add whiskey, then float cold cream on top.
Method
- Warm a stemmed heatproof glass with hot water and tip it out.
- Dissolve the sugar in the hot coffee in the glass, then stir in the whiskey.
- Whip the chilled cream lightly with a fork until it just thickens but still pours.
- Pour it over the back of a spoon onto the coffee so it sits in a thick layer on top, and grate a little nutmeg over it.
