Equipment:

• Cup of Irish coffee

5. Pour the coffee: Carefully pour the hot coffee over the whiskey and sugar mixture.
6. Top with whipped cream: Use a cream whipper or spoon to create a generous layer of whipped cream over the surface of the coffee.
7. Sprinkle nutmeg (optional): For an optional finishing touch, sprinkle a little ground nutmeg over the whipped cream.

Tips:

• Use high-quality Irish whiskey for the best flavor.
• If you don't have whipped cream, you can use frothed milk instead.
