- 14-16 tablespoons coffee coarsely ground
- 1 quart cold filtered water
- 4 parts boiling water
- 4 teaspoons brown sugar
- 6 ounces Irish whiskey
- Heavy cream slightly whipped
Step one is to brew your coffee, you can have it hot or cold all depends on how you like it. I would recommend using Cold Brew if you are going iced. You can do it two ways, the first is old school cold brewing. That takes about 12 -24 hours to make. Or you can spend a little money and buy a cold brew coffee maker. And take about 10 to 15 minutes. Divide the coffee between 4 mugs and top with one part boiling water each.
Add the brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add 1 ounce of whiskey to each mug.
Whip the heavy cream until it is halfway to stiff whipped cream.
Spoon about 4 tablespoons of cream onto each mug and serve immediately.
