Quote of the Week
Life is mostly froth and bubble,
Two things stand like stone,
Kindness in another's trouble,
Courage in your own.

Traditional Irish Coffee
Per serving:

1-1/2 oz. Irish whiskey

1 tsp. brown sugar

6 oz. strong, hot coffee

Whipping cream

Pour boiling water into mugs to warm them.

Whip the whipping cream just a little so it's slightly frothy.

Discard hot water in mugs, add whiskey. Add hot coffee and brown sugar (leaving a little room on top for the cream), and stir to combine. Gently spoon cream over top. There's a trick to this to keep it from sinking to the bottom: invert a spoon close to the surface of the liquid and pour dollops of cream carefully over the curved back of the spoon. Serve immediately.
