  • Unsweetened Partially Whipped Cream

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Before beginning this recipe, make the Partially Whipped Cream.
  2. Brew some coffee and keep it hot.
  3. In an Irish coffee glass, heat tempered glass, or mug, combine the coffee, whiskey, and simple syrup.
  4. Stir to combine.
  5. Gently ladle 2.5 cm (1 inch) of partially whipped cream on top of the coffee mixture, and serve immediately.
  6. You should end up with a 2 to 2.5cm ( ¾- to 1-inch) layer of cream that’s cleanly floating on top of the coffee, creating a sharp demarcation between black and white.
