Ingredients
2 tbsp Double cream
150 ml Freshly brewed black coffee
50 ml Irish whiskey
¾ tsp Brown sugar
pinch Freshly grated nutmeg
Directions
Pour the freshly brewed black coffee into a heatproof mug or glass. Add the Irish whiskey and brown sugar, then stir well until the sugar has completely dissolved.
While the coffee mixture is being prepared, lightly whip the double cream until it reaches a soft, slightly thickened consistency but is not fully whipped.
Gently pour the whipped cream over the back of a spoon onto the surface of the hot coffee to create a floating layer on top.
Sprinkle a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg over the cream layer and serve immediately while hot.
