Irish Coffee

Irish coffee both warms and sweetens - a fine combination of effects.

• 3 cups freshly made strong black coffee
• Brown sugar to taste
• 6 ounces of Irish Whiskey
• 1 cup heavy cream, freshly whipped to peaks
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (optional)

METHOD

Heat four Irish coffee glasses by filling with hot water.

Pour out water and put coffee into each glass, filling 3/4 of the way to the rim.

Add desired amount of sugar to each cup and stir to dissolve. Use more sugar than you would take in plain coffee.

Stir in 1 1/2 ounces whiskey to each glass.

Top each glass with whipped cream.

Lightly sprinkle cocoa over whipped cream if desired.

Serves: 4
